At last! Happy to share our paper on CellOracle – a computational method for dissecting cell identity via network inference and in silico gene perturbation, led by the amazing @kenjikamimoto68:

I invest a lot of energy trying to recruit postdocs to my lab. I haven't received a SINGLE non-immigrant postdoc application in the past five years

The first paper from our lab is finally out! Single-cell mapping of lineage and identity in direct reprogramming: nature.com/articles/s4158… @Nature Thread.. (spoiler alert: all our tools, protocols and data are freely available)

Some exciting news to share! Our lab is relocating to @harvardmed Systems Biology and @BrighamWomens GI & Genetics this fall. We're actively recruiting talented postdocs to join our team. Please RT to spread the word.

Excited to see our image selected for today's @CellStemCell cover! Capybara is our computational tool to query cell identity. Here, the viewer is playing 'Guess Who', where they have to guess the hidden cell identity. Only the Capybara has the power to reveal its true identity.

Just stumbled across a gene called 'Aim2'. Hopefully, it's not dependent on Aim1.

Saddened to hear of John Gurdon’s passing. A brilliant scientist, generous mentor, and endlessly curious. When he examined my PhD viva in 2006, he’d just come from doing experiments at his bench - at 73. He shaped so many careers, including mine:

Thrilled to share the final publication of CellTag-multi, a strategy in which CellTag lineage barcodes can be captured in both scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq assays allowing for independent tracking of clonal transcriptional and epigenomic state, with @kjkjindal

I'd remarked today that my organization skills as a PI are improving. Not even an hour later, I forget to turn up to a seminar. IT WAS MY OWN SEMINAR 😨
