iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

What a time to be allowed to live in. What a responsibility to figure out how society actually will be benefitting from it. 🤯 🤩

Not to mention the ethical questions and a new agreement we’ll need among ourselves about what good scientific practice can look like in a world where discoveries are facilitated by agentic systems. Systems we still have to learn how to build, deploy, trust… AND mistrust. 🚨

The next years will be tremendous fun for us. But honestly… for science as a whole 🧑‍🔬 The changes ahead won’t just scratch the surface of how we conduct biomedical research, they’ll reach much, much deeper than that 🧐

Am I famous now?!? 😉 Jokes aside… I am stoked to start this new research direction with some of the most amazing scientists I know! What a team we already are… and… it will only get better from here!!! ❤️

The aim: how AI + the right data + computational tools can help us understand cancer-relevant cellular processes — and how a consortium of labs in parallel moves faster than any of us alone.

~30 PIs from across Europe and beyond — single-cell, spatial omics, cancer evolution, AI methods. Initiated by my HT colleague Andrea Sottoriva.

After reading this I thought: wouldn’t it be nice if one could link directly to an ISM? And Claude delivered this feature right away! 😉 isms.maias.bio#ism-6

I’ve recently visited Detroit and read the really great Rocket ISMs booklet 🚀. It motivated me to work on ISMs that capture the spirit of the Multimodal AI Across Scales research direction we’re setting up @humantechnopole.bsky.social . What do you think about them? isms.maias.bio Honesty welcome!🙏

I’m in the 10th year of leading a lab. 🧪 It is such a fun & rewarding job! ❤️ And, it is hard and brutal too! The responsibility, the people, the pressure and occasional disappointment. But at the end of the day, the joy & results outweighs it all! Why do I write this down here you’re asking? 1/2

To challenge the typesetting pipelines of the world... 😜 Aha... and because we are splitting images... hence a split "S"!

Now, let's see what YOU 🫵 people come up with. How will 🫵 make use of the method we describe? How can Micro𝕊plit enable 🫵 to figure out some biology that is otherwise not easy to capture? I am really looking forward seeing it! So, in advance, thank 🫵 too! 🙏

I must say thanks to @fspasqualini.bsky.social. He was in this with us from day 0. In some way it was a thought of his that lead to it all. We met at a lake near Milan and, as so often, one chat and a thought becomes a common goal. Thanks Francesco! 🙏

I must start by saying thanks to Ashesh @ashesh-0.bsky.social. No surname, but when publishing he makes it easy for us all and goes with "Ashesh Ashesh". He's now a professor back home in 🇮🇳. Congrats! He pushed virtually all of the methods work with relentless will and skill. Thanks Ashesh! 🙏
