“I want to pick questions that are biologically meaningful, that help us understand things we didn’t know before,” says Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center fellow and MIT EECS PhD student Xinyi Zhang. Learn more about Xinyi’s research: broad.io/Xinyi_MIT Broad Institute

Learn more about our postdoc fellow Maria Skoularidou (she/her)'s work at #ICML2024!

Say hello to our fellows attending/presenting at #ICML2024: Matt Levine, Maria Skoularidou (she/her), Aldo Pacchiano, wengong jin, Jiaqi Zhang, Sana Tonekaboni, Ilker Demirel, Neil Mallinar, and Director Caroline Uhler. Good luck to Matt on his oral talk and Maria and Aldo on their workshops!

It’s such a unique feeling when you experience your lab respecting & admiring you & your work; I am very grateful & feel that I,too, belong to this group Once again,thank you #EWRC Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center for being such an inspiring & supportive research place to work at Broad Institute

Thanks to @mit for featuring Schmidt Center Director Caroline Uhler and Ph.D. student Xinyi Zhang's new paper in Nature Communications about an #AI model that could help clinicians assess breast cancer stage and ultimately aid in reducing overtreatment. Learn more: news.mit.edu/2024/ai-model-…

In collaboration with GV Shivashankar's lab at PSI Paul Scherrer Institut, Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center Director Caroline Uhler and Ph.D. student Xinyi Zhang are developing a new combined imaging and #AI approach to improve the staging of breast cancer: ericandwendyschmidtcenter.org/updates/resear… Nature Communications Broad Institute

In a paper published by Nature Communications, Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center Ph.D. student Xinyi Zhang and Director Caroline Uhler discuss how #chromatinimaging can provide a simple method for predicting #DCIS tumor stages.
