ML x Cancer Genomics at @anshulkundaje @MayaKasowski labs. PhD student at @Stanford. Skills include long-distance running and easily fitting in economy class
Our extended #DIISCO paper led by @cam_park and @ShouvikMani includes new benchmarking, robustness analyses, and application to #CART data! Delighted to have #DIISCO highlighted on the cover of @genomeresearch too

Had a great day 1 at @RECOMBconf! Wonderful talk by @VanAllenLab about biologically-informed ML approaches for molecular discovery. Many open problems including the role of non-coding mutations in cancer and combining signal from germline+somatic variants
1/6 Excited to share our new preprint, out today on #biorxiv, a large #singlecell effort studying response to adoptive cellular therapy for relapsed myeloid malignancy after #HSCT !!
I am still in shock! Deeply humbled & grateful to @TakedaPharma@NYASciences for this honor and for highlighting our work: https://t.co/U3Unkv4LPM Huge thanks to the phenomenal trainees I am so privileged to work with, the supportive @ColumbiaBME@Cancer_dynamics@columbiacancer
In the process I also found some great resources to learn about genomics, filled with beautiful figures and explanations. An absolute goldmine:

Had a βBLASTβ teaching comp bio to high schoolers at @StanfordSPLASH this weekend! My fav part was students BLASTing proteins on their phones for our Find this Protein activity π Big shoutout to @V_Augustina14 for helping out! Slides and activity here: https://t.co/JOJVVipLTn
Almost 1200 innocent school girls across 15 cities in Iran have been the target of systematic gas attacks and poisoning *inside* schools. This biological terrorizing is suspected to be carried out by hardliners to stop girls from going to school @Malala's story is not far away π
Congratulations to Elham Azizi (@elhamazizi) who received an R01 grant from the @NIH to unlock novel insights about the spatial organization of cell types, their interactions, and mechanisms in multiple biological systems. Read more: https://t.co/VMeF8MU4AK
