We recently published Metagraph [1] & polished the website to made it usable/stable/efficient for more users. Check out AI summary/tax. id feature [2]. Search in 17PB indexed sequences takes ≈3min on single server. Try! [1] www.nature.com/articles/s41... [2] metagraph.ethz.ch/results?sear...

The Metagraph paper is out in Nature; it showed up in my feeds today! Congratulations to Mikhail Karasikov, @gxxxr.bsky.social, @akkah21.bsky.social and all of the other authors (whom I'd love to follow on Bluesky if I can find you ;P) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

After years of research and continuous refinement, we’re thrilled to share that our paper on the MetaGraph framework — enabling Petabase-scale search across sequencing data — has been published today in Nature (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

This manuscript on the reproducibility of splicing neoepitope prediction took us a while. We find that subtle choices in how one exactly generates and filters neoepitope candidates, creates major differences in the number and identity of the neoepitopes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Splicing neoepitope prediction is sensitive to methodological differences
Motivation: Cancer-specific neoepitopes may arise from abnormal splicing in the transcriptomic landscape (alternative splicing neoepitopes, ASNs), leading to divergent proteins with high potential imm...

Just presented our new multimodal histopathology method "SpotWhisperer" at ICML, one of the largest AI conference. SpotWhisperer enables spatially resolved annotation of histopathology images using natural language. We achieved this by "transferring" annotations from transcriptomic data. More soon!

Very honored to have been elected an @ellis.eu Scholar in the program for Robust Machine Learning: ellis.eu/programs/rob... What better way to celebrate it than to speak at the ELLIS UnConference in Bad Teinach?

My group is hiring postdoc(s) and I will be at #NeurIPS2024 if you want to talk - send me a DM or find me on Whova! UK-based, 2 year position. We work on AI/ML for health, specifically building and *understanding/explaining* deep (multimodal) models on healthcare data, especially medical imaging.
