🕰️🚆🦠 Excited to share our new preprint: “Optimal transport fate mapping resolves T cell differentiation dynamics across tissues”!

We use OT to infer realistic CD8 T cell differentiation and migration trajectories from scRNA-seq timecourses.

Amazing work by talented graduate student @Pratt__Brandon and team from the @JJMilnerLab @HKayChung1. Be sure to check it out how they devised a way to unlock the therapeutic potential of CD8 T cells!

Congratulations @alecplot for winning a best poster award at data science day for work predicting CD8 T-cell fates with @JJMilnerLab :) Truthfully, this a picture from last week, but is the same poster. Great job Alec.

[UNC Pancreas Center @UNCPancreas]

So pleased to announce that @JJMilnerLab has earned our 2023-24 @theNCI SPORE CEP Award for his project, "Molecular regulation of T cell activity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma." Congratulations, Dr. Milner, we're excited to watch your progress this year! @UNC_Lineberger

[Kamphorst Lab @KamphorstAlice]

Happy to share that our story is out! @SciImmunology
Our study demonstrates that sustained CD28 signaling, is required to maintain PD-1+ CD8 T cells during chronic antigen stimulation (1/)
