Cells are not just bags of molecules. Function depends on spatial interactions: RNAs and/or proteins come together with interaction partners to drive regulation and function.
In our new preprint, we introduce ProPER, a novel method for in situ proximity detection.

Our recent work in @Nature, MouseMapper uses foundation-model AI, mapping perturbations in mouse body cell-by-cell, revealed unexpected facial nerve damage.

This one genuinely warms my heart. I was lucky enough to see this as an idea in its infancy, and watching it grow into a Cell paper over years is something else. Well deserved :)

Then they came for the Chinese scientist , and I did not speak out, because I was not a Chinese scientist.

We are hiring again! Our lab is looking for an experimental epigenetics postdoc to work on an exciting 3-year ASAP funded research project studying the role of cell type specific epigenetic regulation in response to toxicant exposures and Parkinson's.

(Academic) pedigree is a powerful facilitator of your career.
I was the only person in my family with a high school degree, and now I know the impact of having educated parents and an academic (and professional) network.

My fav words “accepted in principle"! Thanks reviewer 4 for being so positive!
"The new experiments are not only responsive to my critique, but to the points made by the other 3 reviewers. The paper will be of interest to a broad readership, from cell biologists to Alzheimer's researchers."
