We'd like to extend a huge congratulations to Dr. Yuka Takemon, PhD (竹門ゆか) of the Marra Lab (Marco Marra) for their successful PhD defence! 🎉👏 @UBCGradSchool @UBCmedicine

Join us for an evening of #spatialdata analysis with Véronique and Johannes meetup.com/rladies-vancou… #Rstats #Rladies #VancouverEvents #DataScience

Come visit poster 212 to see how we can computationally predict synthetic lethal interactions to impact precision cancer medicine #AGBTPH

Single-cell biologists, are you looking for a faster way to annotate cells in your scRNA-seq experiments? Try a tool developed by Broad researchers that reduces that task from hours to minutes. Learn more about the Cell Annotation Service, now in beta. broad.io/CAS-News

Free scientific illustrations for biologists! 😍 NIH has released a library of 500+ free scientific illustrations to create figures, presentations, and illustrations! all freely available in the public domain. Retweet and spread the message! bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Thrilled to share our paper published in nature, where we uncover a new process of tumor initiation through a polyclonal-to-monoclonal transition at the @precancerous stage. So proud of my fantastic team (led by Zhaolian Lu ) and incredible collaborators! nature.com/articles/s4158…

UMAP was introduced to biology with the claim that it 'preserves the global structure of the data' better than t-SNE. This matters arising article shows that the claimed global structure preservation can be entirely attributed to different choices of initialization. 1/2

Another example of the different results one gets from a Scanpy vs. Seurat analysis, in this case a Visium HD dataset from academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… 13 vs. 20 clusters. And qualitatively different results, corroborating what we saw in biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What gets erased when you integrate single cell data, and can you recover it? Finally, we know what happens and how to recover the lost signals. So excited to share CellANOVA, published online today in NBT! go.nature.com/4hZnzW5

Our heartfelt congratulations to our very own Dr. Marco Marra, for this tremendous achievement. We’re so very proud of you. bccrc.ca/articles/dr-ma…

Congratulations to our #CMHFLaureate Marco Marra, PhD for being appointed as an officer of the Order of Canada! 👏👏@UBCMedicine ow.ly/n5mE50UuqH3 ow.ly/pUYY50UuqGX.

Congratulations to my PI Marco Marra! Honored to be working with you.

Cancer statistics in 2025 🇺🇸- new report 🚨 Cancer is becoming a new disease. We're seeing a fundamental shift in who gets cancer, moving from a predominantly male, elderly disease to one that increasingly affects women and younger people. Key highlights 🧵

A new study led by Dr. Marco Marra (Michael Smith Labs BC Cancer_GSC) demonstrates a framework for identifying potential novel treatment targets in cancers driven by the loss of tumour suppressor genes. 💡Read more about the study here: bit.ly/4iFVnqP University of British Columbia @BCCancer Yuka Takemon, PhD (竹門ゆか)
