After 4y in the making, I am super excited that my main PhD project is published 🎉🥳🎉🎉🥳

https://t.co/LCL2Dj1SOK

LEMUR is a tool to analyze multi-condition single-cell data and model differential expression as a continuous function of the cell-state space.

Some highlights⬇️

I'm very thankful to everyone involved in the study! The project would not have been possible without my co-firsts @KfdG_1236 and @hyobin_jeong and co-lasts Andreas Trumpp, @JanKorbel5 and @ash_d_sanders 🍾🎉🥳 5/5

Extremely proud to see my PhD project exploring intra-tumor heterogeneity in complex karyotype AML finally out in @NatureGenet ! 🎉👩🏻‍🔬

They say that 10,000 hours make you an expert, so I guess after more than five years of work I’m half-way there 😅 ⬇️1/5

In another patient with paired pre- and post-treatment samples, two distinct subclones persisted post venetoclax-based treatment. Both had subclone-specific mechanisms to further resistance: a shift toward MEP-like cells and NF1 loss. Go and read more about the other cases! 📜4/5

There's a lot of excitement about foundation models and their ability to learn biology 🧬💻

But current tools for perturbation prediction perform worse than simple linear models! We need more careful benchmarking to make progress.

Just uploaded a new version of the LEMUR manuscript
https://t.co/6cFvXqQfZ6 🎉🥳
LEMUR disentangles observed and latent factors of multi-condition single-cell data and finds groups of cells with consistent differential expression for each gene.

Details on the changes ⬇️

Excited to announce: International Heidelberg Symposium on Stem Cells and Cancer on Sep 10-12, 2023 @DKFZ. Worldwide opinion leaders present latest data on cancer stem cells, tumor heterogeneity, therapy resistance & more! Registration for FREE @ https://t.co/JXqNxHtVsr. #SCC2023

Incredibly proud to see our benchmark of single-cell preprocessing methods finally published 🥳🥳🎉

We show that despite its theoretical limitations, no other transformation consistently outperforms log(y/s+1).
