This is either a thoughtful gift from Ming "Tommy" Tang or a subtle hint that I should know more 😂

This has been quite the journey, but glad it is out in the world. I think this will have value to the community.

Want to know if your favorite microRNA is expressed in the cells you investigate? We've got 196 answers for you! "A curated human cellular microRNAome based on 196 primary cell types" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Congrats to Arun, Matthew N. McCall, Zach Brehm and Andrea Baran.

we have a new computational scientist job opening at Immunitas Therapeutics linkedin.com/jobs/view/3080… you get to work with me, Tim O. Nieuwenhuis and ———— and other awesome members in the company.

If you're looking to do some meaningful research in the immuno-oncology space check out our computational scientist opening!

math expert tweeps, I am trying to understand partial least square regression. I got that it is maximizing the covariance between X and Y towardsdatascience.com/partial-least-…. My question is: is the order of the PLS components mean anything like in PCA? tagging ———— too #rstats

Our lab will be doing some analysis with GTEx soon, so I was looking at the literature. Came across this... nature.com/articles/s4146… 👀

Proud of the work of Arun, Matthew N. McCall and others to built a cellular microRNAome from 196 cell types: tinyurl.com/yvkv3uvz. To the miRNA community ...🧵

We are thrilled to receive FDA clearance for the IMT-009 IND. Click here bit.ly/3xFqQ7p to learn more about our lead program, IMT-009 as a potential novel treatment for solid tumors and hematological malignancies. #AntibodyTherapeutics #clinicaltrials

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Juliana Idoyaga, Ph.D. to our Scientific Advisory Board. Read more here: immunitastx.com/home#news. Juliana currently serves as Assistant Professor, Department of Microbiology and #Immunology at Stanford. Welcome, Juliana! #Biotech

my colleague Marc Halushka MD PhD spent a year trying to get @nejm to publish a letter pointing out a serious error in a paper. NEJM stalled and stalled, apparently on purpose retractionwatch.com/2022/10/21/cat… via Ivan Oransky

New toy for our lab, we can't wait to get our hands on it! Vizgen #SpatialTranscriptomics

3/ We have developed a python package called monkeybread monkeybread.readthedocs.io/en/latest/note… for spatial data. Michelle Duan, Tim O. Nieuwenhuis, and I will follow a hands-on tutorial by Dillion this Friday, learning how to analyze the data. Super excited! Thomas Tan, Ph.D. #team #keeplearning

@franschrandez Ming "Tommy" Tang Tim O. Nieuwenhuis Thomas Tan, Ph.D. We're still finishing up the documentation and testing, but we plan to put the tutorial on colab! We will potentially also write up a small preprint Credit to Tim O. Nieuwenhuis for the name :)

Wonderful talks by Kai Wucherpfennig and Thomas Tan, Ph.D. in Immunitas Therapeutics R&D Update today (ongoing) ..promising pipeline with the IMT-009. Rooting for this team and their discoveries for their endeavors towards better human health! 🎊 #CD161

Patterns of unwanted biological and technical expression variation across 49 human tissues biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_bioinfo

Not impressed, the prompt asked for "bluegrass instruments" and the banjos are clearly missing the fifth tuning peg. Guess I gotta wait for the next release for accurate banjo representation :/

The final paper from my PhD work, huge thanks to Marc Halushka MD PhD Matthew N. McCall for pushing this through! Tissue variation was my original research focus when I joined the lab, before I was sidetracked by the contamination story. Glad to finally close the loop!

I remember this one time I experienced an issue in someones R package, so I fixed it and created a pull request to remove the bug in the next release. The request was approved, but I was basically told "we didn't expect anyone to be dumb enough to get that error" oof
