Join us for the 17th Berlin Summer Meeting – AI’s Adventures in Genomics, 6-7 June 2024 to explore the latest advancements, challenges, and prospects in harnessing AI for biomedical research and applications! Registration: bit.ly/bsmAI #mdcBerlin

ok solution: this is the view from albert einstein’s desk from his summer house @ caputh near berlin where he loved to be before traveling to the US and, upon learning about nazi rise to power in 1933, never to return. the house was “confiscated’ by the nazis but today a museum.

Our Single Cell Genomics Day - highlighting our favorite new sc/spatial methods - starts Friday at 10AM ET! The most common question we get: is this open to anyone? Yes! Talks are free and live-streamed (no registration required) on Youtube and satijalab.org/scgd

After feeding all of my life‘s data into a foundation model, it accurately predicts pretty much everything i do. and the explainable stuff revealed only trivia driving my decisions. curious if others have more interesting experiences?

First - I really enjoyed meeting Joseph Rich this week (who is fantastic, thanks Lior for the intro!). He has done awesome work exploring implementation details, and we talked about ways to potentially work together as well (see the end of this thread)

Dalal Hamad my grandfather was a sophomore when Thomas Hunt Morgan took him into his lab (Fly Room @ Columbia) and as a sophomore he computed the worlds 1st genetic map! sturtevant.com/sturtevant/ahs…

today is the 200th birthday of beethoven‘s 9th symphony. with the heartbreaking „alle menschen werden brüder“ by his friend schiller. the music was to me, as to uncounted fellow humans, a life altering experience.

i am completely floored by the power of alphafold version 3. protein-R/DNA structures in seconds! (yes problems exist but progress is so impressive! !)

My first first-author paper is out!🥳 At the Nikolaus Rajewsky Lab we studied the involvement of circRNA Cdr1as in neuronal stimulations, and the buffering action over miR-7 activity during the regulation of glutamatergic transmission. I break it down for you: embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

🔥🔥🔥Invited review "A renaissance of microRNAs as taxonomic and phylogenetic markers in animals" out today with Zoologica Scripta. 🔥🔥🔥onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… 🧵1 / 5

Our #OpenST paper is now online Cell! authors.elsevier.com/c/1jJckL7PXqR3U Very cool updates ahead🧵⬇️ Marie Schott Elena Splendiani #GiuseppeMacino Nikos Karaiskos Nikolaus Rajewsky

i am so excited about our open source inexpensive, sub-cellular capture, do-it-yourself Open-ST that transforms tissues into virtual tissue blocks in 3D - IDing pathways & gene programs driving phenotypes. a huge congratz to the team! cell.com/cell/abstract/…

And it's out 🎉 Check out our updated paper & tweetorial on Open-ST, our DIY spatial transcriptomics method. Many, many thanks to everyone involved in this huge & exciting project! #OpenST #SpatialTranscriptomics

Last selected talk! We are almost at the end with Miriam Wandres from Max Delbrück Center Nikolaus Rajewsky lab talking about optogenetic stimulation and light induced patterning of brain organoids to study hippocampus development

the first 3 authors who made Open-ST happen- Marie Schott, Daniel Perinān, and Elena Splendiani

“…already had something particular about them: inhabitants of the outskirts, mainly—of those sections where the Zoological Garden borders on coffeehouses or the exhibition hall. Among all the denizens of these regions, however, the most remarkable was the otter.” walter benjamin

Fantastic #Science MDC-BIMSB official opening of (apparently first of its kind in Europe) Max Delbrück Center – Bruker Center of Excellence for Single Cell Omics. Congratulations Nikolaus Rajewsky Maike Sander & Lab & everyone involved🎉 mdc-berlin.de/MDC_Bruker_Cen…

in the end there is nothing better than practicing music during science breaks.

Nikolaus Rajewsky Suresh Poovathingal Cell Cell Reports Methods thank you Nikolaus ! Looking forward to joint advancements on this amazing platform #OpenST #NovaST

Microplastics are infiltrating brain tissue, studies show: ‘There’s nowhere left untouched’. 0.5 % of your brain is plastics. theguardian.com/environment/ar…
