Our systems nutrigenomics study led by Dr. Guanglin Zhang on context-specific effects of omega-3 fatty acid DHA (physiological vs pathological, metabolic vs behavioral, hypothalamic vs hippocampal, transcriptome vs epigenome) is out. Congrats to the team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/F…

Our analysis identifies multiple conditions that modulate ACE2 expression. In particular, patients with cardiomyopathy show up-regulated ACE2 and increased mortality related to COVID-19 compared to matched patients with other cardiovascular diseases. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super excited about teaching the Big Data in Immunology Workshop FOCIS, happening tomorrow. focisnet.org/education/big-… Interested in research in Computational Immunology?

Our CovidCounties Manuscript is now live and freely available! rdcu.be/caQv3. Humbled to have been a part of such a talented team. Check us out, spread the word, and help us #FlattenTheCurve on our open-source team. covidcounties.org. Insight + Action = #COVIDzero

Thrilled to announce our latest #COVID19 work, a University of California Health collaboration. To make a difference in #healthcare, we need to embrace more complete models of disease: medical + social dets of health. Check out and reuse our code for geomapping #EHR data medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats Sanchita Bhattacharya & Zicheng Hu on getting our paper "Opportunities and Challenges in Democratizing Immunology Datasets" published in Frontiers - Immunology! ImmPort is a great resource w/ #opendata from hundreds of immunology studies available for you! buff.ly/3dpFqWX

Now live: informatics.bmj.com/content/28/1/e… Our findings support tofacitinib's effectiveness for colitis, esp in patient groups who weren't studied in the trials. But more is needed to improve the capture of clinical data and help us realize real-world evidence for ALL of our patients!

Our paper "Single-nucleotide conservation state annotation of the SARS-CoV-2 genome" led by Soo Bin Kwon is now published. In this paper we apply ConsHMM (previously developed by Adriana Arneson) to annotate the SARS-CoV-2 genome and analyze mutations. nature.com/articles/s4200…

Congratulations to STAR Fellow Dr. Jason Hong Jason Hong, MD, PhD in the UCLA Molecular, Cellular & Integrative Physiology program for a very successful Ph.D. defense today! A privilege to have you in our lab and Dr. Mansoureh Eghbali’s lab. We are all so proud of you and wish you continued success in your future career!

What a thrill for @VashishtRV and me to be able to present our poster co-authored with U.S. FDA Dr. Amy Abernethy and team, on Prioritizing #COVID19 Questions from a Real-World Clinical Data Warehouse in California! buff.ly/3vdlyvT

With our new faculty Jazlyn Mooney, PhD, Doc Edge, and Matt Pennell, and Charleston Chiang and Nicholas Mancuso affiliated with us, the QCB Dept USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts & Sciences is once again the nexus for quantitative evolutionary biology USC. Join us for a PhD, Master’s, or QBIO Bachelor in 21st century biology.

How the early immune response associates with clinical and long-term immunological outcomes of COVID-19? How does it compare with the response to mRNA vaccine? See our new system immunology study, a collaboration with Prasanna Jagannathan and many others. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
