Our 10th Single Cell Genomics Day is next Friday (6/12)!

Thanks to amazing speakers Aviv Regev @xinjin @anshulkundaje @junyue_cao and many more! Talks are live-streamed on YouTube and are free (no registration required) at https://t.co/G5Pq3EwyHF

[GSK Graduate School @GSKGradSchool]

Congratulations to GSK PhD student Yan-Ting Chen in the lab of Santosha Vardhana for defending his thesis entitled "Context-Specific Regulation of T cell Function
by Amino Acid Availability."

[Abdel-Wahab Lab @AbdelWahablab]

Excited to announce a new paper out now in @CD_AACR on a unique CAR T cell platform that eliminates AML and B-ALL without harming vital endogenous immune cells or other normal human tissues:

[Itai Yanai @ItaiYanai]

Akiko Iwasaki (@VirusesImmunity) is presenting a talk next week in the Night Science Seminar Series on "Insights Gained in the Hunt for Genital Herpes Vaccines". Akiko will discuss both results & the process that led to the discoveries.

We are hiring! The Brown Lab is looking for a computational biologist to join our team.
If you enjoy working with single-cell and spatial genomics data and want to study how immune cells develop and function, we’d love to hear from you!

[Katya Vinogradova @katenokv]

Excited to share our new preprint: “A post-translational regulatory map of chronic antigen-driven human T cell dysfunction.”!

[Santosh Vardhana @SantoshVardhana]

It’s a thrill that the culmination of 5 years of collaboration with @katenokv is out today. This project was inspired by Katya’s incredible work showing massive remodeling of the post-translational landscape during T cell activation. (1/x): https://t.co/Dq2SaBqyBB

Now online! Citrate clearance is a major function of aconitase 2 in the canonical TCA cycle https://t.co/yZnwJRsOsM

If you feel safe … you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in… And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.

By uncovering the origins of a group of rare immune cells called Thetis cells, #GilliamFellow Yoselin Paucar Iza & #FreemanHrabowski Scholar @themis_brown are unlocking their potential to help treat—or even prevent—food allergies & autoimmune diseases: https://t.co/YA1nL9DItQ

[Luis F. Somarribas Patterson @lfsomap]

I’m riding in @Cycle4Survival in two weeks. 100% of every dollar I raise advances rare cancer research at @MSKCancerCenter. Please join me in helping to bring new and better treatment options to people with cancer and their families. Donate here: https://t.co/EhnukkygQf

[Luis F. Somarribas Patterson @lfsomap]

@themis_brown @YoselinAPI @msk Amazing work! Congratulations @YoselinAPI , @themis_brown and all coauthors!!!

[Chrysothemis Brown @themis_brown]

Very happy to share our new study defining the ontogeny of Thetis cells and the developmental cues that shape their early-life wave of differentiation. https://t.co/hVQa7zAfY1
Beautiful work led by exceptional @HHMI Gilliam fellow @YoselinAPI and @MSK postdoc Tyler Park 🧵 1/

[Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center @MSKCancerCenter]

Neuro-oncologist Dr. Adrienne Boire teamed up with computational biologist Dr. Dana Pe’er to find a way to stop cancer cells from surviving in the cerebrospinal fluid. By conducting a detailed analysis of patient samples using powerful computational methods, they unearthed the secret — a discovery that also suggested a treatment strategy. Learn more about the research with the potential to give patients more precious time. https://t.co/AOMxtKcWoM

With all the excitement about AI giving us answers, we often forget that the real trick is to figure out what is the question!
Thank you Tim Ferriss for recommending "What is the question" on the Night Science creative process in your newsletter!

[Itai Yanai @ItaiYanai]

Professors: we must start teaching the creative scientific process to PhD students and postdocs! Register for our April 24 train-the-trainer event in New York to learn from us how to teach it.

[Mara Sherman Lab @MaraShermanLab]

With ✨ trainees Frank, Anny & Zainab ⁦@MSKCancerCenter⁩ we share a current understanding of the pancreatic #TME ⁦@NatureRevCancer⁩. It was inspiring to reflect on progress by so many in the field over the last decade. Hope we did yall justice. https://t.co/eam5qdqx5C

[Itai Yanai @ItaiYanai]

“It should be delivered to all scientists (possibly academics) at an early stage” – feedback on the Night Science workshop.
We've been teaching this workshop for >5 years now, but to reach everyone we need more trainers. Join us!

My favorite @nyulangone science story of 2025 is not cancer related, although it was led by @Perlmutter_CC researcher @MichaelPacold. A team of physician scientists worked tirelessly over the winter break (and credit to @US_FDA) to make this magic happen

This is a transformative book about the need to be ready to abandon our goals as we explore the unexpected things we come upon. Only then do we have a shot at achieving our real goal of doing something great.
