Super excited to share my first grad school paper! It was so much fun working on this collaborative project from day one as a rotation student in the Curtis lab! Such a joy to work on with Katie, @LiseMangiante, @CrisISotomayor, @cncurtis and @caswell_jin & thanks to the lab!
The Curtis Lab’s latest study on the genomic architecture of breast cancer from the pre-invasive to metastatic setting is now out in Nature! https://t.co/XHUeNAqoeA
So big-ish news, I am happy to announce that I've submitted the first paper of my PhD!!! And now get the chance to write my first twitter tutorial. (Thread + Preprint link below)
HLA is the locus that everyone loves to hate, so it rarely gets invited to the GWAS party... There’s good reason for this. The region has extensive LD, high gene density and high polymorphism. (Thread + preprint link below ⬇️) (1/8)
thrilled to share @raungar's and my paper on our genetics + ethics course! still shocked, awed, and incredibly grateful that our little idea grew into a full-fledged course and accompanying paper https://t.co/rVYFX2dsgb
We're excited to announce that the 2nd annual Spatial Biology Workshop will be taking place August 28th-30th at Stanford. The workshop will cover new techniques and tools for generating and analyzing spatial data, as well as new biology discovered using spatial methods.
Cancer is complex and diverse, with varying molecular profiles & treatment responses. We showed germline variants with little to no functional genic effect, in aggregate, may sculpt #breastcancer subtypes & disease aggression by mediating immune response🧵

New preprint! In collaboration w/ @cncurtis and @davidvanvalen, Alex Sockell & Wing Hing Wong developed a simple microfluidic platform for high-throughput growth, phenotyping, & retrieval of single organoids! https://t.co/2m4a3O310t @Stanford_ChEMH @StanfordBioE @czbiohub (1/5)
Killer T cells are beautiful! This high resolution/rapid acquisition video of a T cell attacking a lymphoma cancer cell was captured on a specialized Lattice Light Sheet microscope with the help of my wonderful collaborators @HHMIJanelia. See more details in the thread below.
Thrilled to share my first paper from my PhD, advised by @jkpritch and in close collaboration with my co-first author @shailamusharoff, on testing for differences in causal variant effect sizes across populations. https://t.co/1Smhr09IiA (1/9)
Join us later today when Professor Jennifer Doudna @doudna_lab will deliver the Dr Stanley Ho Memorial Lecture, ‘CRISPR-Cas9: Genome Editing and the Future of Medicine’. Join us live on YouTube at 5pm https://t.co/PUKIfuQE33

This is by far the coolest thing I've ever seen on @BBC and I'm so happy they've got this beautifully interactive example of scicomm.
