We're preparing a PhysiCell 1.13.0 release to go out tonight. Most importantly, it includes PhysiMeSS by Cicely Macnamara, Vincent Noël (@vincent-noel.fr on BlueSky), and collaborators as an official addon for ECM modeling. #opensource IMO

Check out our new pre-print led by postdoc Qing Hu (Qing Hu). Shattered chromosomes from micronuclei undergo complex rearrangements via NHEJ-mediated ligation within sub-nuclear territories termed ‘MN bodies’. 🧵(1/6): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

excited to announce our new paper in Cell on ARC-well by Kaile Wang Tapsi Kumar, PhD, on a new single cell DNA-seq nanowell method that we applied to study DCIS and recurrences, revealing an evolutionary bottleneck during progression MD Anderson Cancer Center sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited for the start of the NCI Junior Investigators meeting in Philadelphia! #NCIJI2023

Patient advocate and cancer survivor Yvonne McLean Florence brings the human side of cancer to the meeting. She reminds us as cancer researchers that "the patient is the end user of our discoveries" #NCIJI2023

Excited to share Monopogen that performs SNV calling from single-cell DNA/RNA/ATAC-seq data, to enable cellular population genetics. nature.com/articles/s4158…. Thanks Rui Chen, Nicholas Navin, Shyam Prabhakar Lab, Li Ding, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative CZI Science, #HTAN, Nature Biotechnology collaborators/friends.

Awesome seeing Texas BME and Nicholas A. Peppas lab alumn @NateRichbourg transition his hydrogel knowledge to better understand breast cancer dormancy! #NCIJI2023

Scientific speed dating was a super fun way to get to know everyone here! #NCIJI2023

It was so wonderful and I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to share my work and engage with other junior investigators across so many diverse cancer subfields. What an excellent first day at #NCIJI2023 ! Looking forward to what tomorrow brings

Love the analogy! Dr Rebecca Bekker describes agent-based models like a game of chess where each cell has to follow its own rules and shows how ABMs can be used to model immune-cancer dynamics under GRID vs. whole tumor irradiation #NCIJI2023

#NCIJI2023: that's a wrap!

We mourn the loss of J. Tinsley Oden, our founding director of the Oden Institute 50 yrs ago. Widely known as the father of computational mechanics, Oden devoted his life to advancing interdisciplinary research & education in computing. UT Austin oden.utexas.edu/news-and-event…

Our resource paper on TNBC omic is officially out in Cell Reports. We dissected TNBC heterogeneity with deep multiomic profiling on 34 TNBC cell lines and identified drivers of TNBC classification. Congrats to all! Kornelia Polyak sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

1/ Today I'm happy to share our work on tumor karyotype selection, explored experimentally in Stephen Elledge's lab! nature.com/articles/s4158…

🎉New paper🎉Have you ever tried to capture both daughter cells after a burst of mutagenesis? Paul did, and found mirror-image mutation phasing of #LesionSegregation Single-mitosis dissection of acute and chronic DNA mutagenesis & repair Nature Genetics Happy to have contributed!

Could adaptive therapy improve PARPi maintenance for ovarian cancer? I’m very happy and proud to share our new paper, now out in Cell Systems: cell.com/cell-systems/f… A tweetorial [1/12]

When your kids ask you what you did to save US science in the crisis of ‘25, you will say that you showed up! Please spread the word and join us!!
