Happy to finally share our Nicheformer preprint, this was a huge lab effort - special thanks to Anna Schaar and Fabian Theis for making this possible!

1/n Interested in large-scale foundation models for single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data and curious about using them to enrich your dissociated dataset with spatial context? Happy to share our preprint “Nicheformer: a foundation model for single-cell and spatial omics”.

Guy Wolf MilaQuebec visiting Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich as Humboldt-Stiftung fellow to work with us and Bastian Grossenbacher-Rieck lab on manifold learning. Starting with fun talk on geometry and diffusions.

Single-cell omics is ever changing. I am using a longitudinal pediatric AML dataset (n = 75) to cover some of these recent updates to the field in a multi-part tutorial series that will cover scRNA and scATAC. Part one covers preprocessing. 🧵 (1/3) youtu.be/cmOlCTGX4Ik?si…

Excited to introduce DinoBloom🦖🌺, an open-source foundation model family (Vit-S to G) for general cell embeddings in #hematology 🩸 Trained w mod. #DINOv2 on 13 datasets w 380,000+ WBC images of blood & bonemarrow. Evaluated on AML subtype & cell classification (knn, lin probe)

Special thanks to Mathieu Seyfrid for bringing it all together!

🌟 We are thrilled to welcome Prof. Fabian Theis, Director of Computational Health Center, as #ECCB2024 keynote speaker!

'Attendees can expect to learn about state-of-the-art approaches in single cell genomics analysis and perturbation modeling,' he says.
