Great chat with STAT on how the work we’re doing at #CZBiohubNY exemplifies the power of collaboration and the potential of combining immunology, systems biology and AI to tackle some of the most challenging scientific questions of our time ⬇️ bit.ly/3SGq70v

Hopefully, this will set the stage for an exciting decade of scientific research at the boundary of immunology and bioengineering.

For those interested in connecting or collaborating, we are a little early on the curve to talk realistically about how these will shape up. However, as we ramp up the CZ Biohub NY's intramural/extramural programs, you will see job postings and RFAs for extramural collaborations.

The support and excitement for last week's posts has been overwhelming and humbling! Thousands of people have responded and whished us well. We cannot thank every one individually, but a big shoutout to you also on behalf of my colleagues, John Tsang and Sohail Tavazoie.

Andrea Califano, Dr, has been honored with the 26th Alfred G. Knudson Award in Cancer Genetics by National Cancer Institute for his contributions to the field of cancer research, working to uncover the genetic mysteries behind cancer. 👏 Columbia Medicine

Welcome to new IICD member Mingxuan Zhang, a new PhD in Molecular Therapeutics and Systems Biology. He is excited to create interpretable machine learning models that offer quantitative perspectives on systems onco-pharmacology in Elham Azizi and Califano Lab.

Congrats to Prab and the entire extended team. This is a massive amount of work over probably a decade by dozens of investigators to show how RNA expression data can be used clinically to find tumor vulnerabilities.

Systems Biology, Big Data, and Metastasis:
Andrea Califano, Elana J. Fertig, and Steven Gallinger will address this topic in a plenary session at the AACR Special Conference on Pancreatic Cancer (Sept 27-30, Boston).

Our NaRnEA paper is out.

The problem with WNTs: there's ~ a million of them. And let's not even discuss WNT receptors. How do we procede? #systemsbiology to the rescue! Working w/ Lukas Vlahos & the Andrea Califano lab, we deployed a new computational framework: single cell regulatory network analysis.
