My preprint on continuous optimization of structure using observational and interventional data is out! This is work with Jingyou Rao Sriram Sankararaman Harold Pimentel . arxiv.org/abs/2305.19215 (1/n)

This article is a nice reminder that, while AI/ML tools are flashy, there are lots of major pain points in the healthcare system that can be solved by simple automation/software solutions. Pick the low-hanging fruit too! nytimes.com/2023/06/26/tec…

Excited that Harold Pimentel and I's new preprint on isoform-aware eQTL mapping is now available on bioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We show that taking into account isoform expression levels increases power to identify eGenes. But what is the best way to do so? A short 🧵...

Imagine a future where your watch, belt, or even socks aren't just accessories, but data collectors feeding AI systems. These AI systems help clinicians craft a personalized perioperative plan this is tailored to your unique biology, psychology, and social context...
