I'm honored to be selected to present my latest research at #COMBINE2025 (part of #ABACBS2025 ) today’s morning. I'll be introducing CellDiffusion, a new generative model to tackle the challenge of annotating complex single-cell and spatial RNA-seq data by using bulk RNA-seq reference.

What a brilliant round of lightning talks - we heard about spatial transcriptomics, methylation, and drug resistance, among a variety of other topics. The presenters did a fantastic job using all 90 available seconds to pitch their projects - make it worth their while by checking out their posters!
