What a PERFFect day to share our new preprint!

With Tsion Abay #BobStickels Meril Takizawa Ronan Chaligne (He/Him) and Ansu Satpathy, we introduce PERFF-seq, a new experimental approach to studying rare cells with scRNA-seq via transcript-specific enrichment. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

Thrilled to announce the opening of the Srivatsan Lab (srivatsan-lab.com) at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. The lab will be building new sequencing technologies to understand how our cells and bodies form over the course of development.

Thanks again Cellarity and CZI Science for making this possible! We’ve already got 100+ teams signed up.

I can’t wait to see what the community comes up with 🤩

📣Competition Launch Alert!
Open Problems – Single-Cell Perturbations, hosted by the non-profit collaboration - openproblems.bio
🎯 to predict how small molecules affect gene expression in various cell types.
💰 $100,000 Prize Pool
⏰ Entry Deadline: November 23, 2023…

I get DMs daily from people in tech who want to work on biology, so we built something:

In August, we'll do a free, virtual course.

Assumes no background in biotech, and you'll on-ramp into great projects, get intros to the best labs & companies, join an incredible network.

I was hoping to do one of those feel-good new job announcement tweets: “I’m pleased to announce that I was offered a Fung Global Fellows Program, PIIRS Fellowship at Princeton University University”.
Alas, instead, I’m unpleased to announce that I was forced to reject said fellowship due to #sexdiscrimination .

We’re excited to launch #CZCellxGene Discover Census, a new capability that can cut parts of the #SingleCell analysis process from weeks to minutes.

Anyone knows which package/library to generate such plot?

Big News🚨: #CZCellxGene Discover Census launched today! czi.co/3Nzpfsk

Built from >500 datasets, Census gives you efficient access to the largest aggregation of #SingleCell RNA data that’s immediately ready for analysis with harmonized labels for cell and gene metadata

(1/n) Today I'm proud to present our work on learning dynamics in cancer using neural ODEs and optimal transport! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Deep Science Ventures is launching a new PhD program, the Venture Science Doctorate, to put venture at the heart of research. It’s a 3-year, fully-funded PhD designed to provide solutions to key human and planetary challenges. Apply 👉 dsv.vc/3XNUQZC

We're coming up with the absurd things it can do, but this feels like one of those moments when we realize our lives are about to change in ways we cannot yet imagine
