Great honor to get the Golden Owl award! It means a lot to me with the approval from the students. I spend more of my time in research, but in my opinion teaching is an equally, if not more, important responsibility, passing knowledge to the younger generations. Eager to continue my effect!

Very exited to be awarded my first SNSF Project Funding as the project PI. Huge thanks to @snsf.ch and the very supportive comments from the reviewers! The grant will support my project to decode human brain development and disease with AI-driven regulatory network modeling

Excited to launch our AlphaGenome API goo.gle/3ZPUeFX along with the preprint goo.gle/45AkUyc describing and evaluating our latest DNA sequence model powering the API. Looking forward to seeing how scientists use it! @googledeepmind

Modular integration of epithelial, microbial, and immune components to study human intestinal biology. Amazing team project with Rubén López-Sandoval, Marius F. Harter, Qianhui Yu, Matthias Lütolf, Mikhail Nikolaev, and Nikolche Gjorevski! biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great to be part of the team! And this would not be the end of our efforts on exploring and characterizing the organoid systems

genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... Quite an indictment of some of the current single cell "virtual cell" foundation models. Even for the relatively mundane applications, cell labeling, batch correction etc, they are poor compared to much simpler & cheaper methods.

Zero-shot evaluation reveals limitations of single-cell foundation models - Genome Biology
Foundation models such as scGPT and Geneformer have not been rigorously evaluated in a setting where they are used without any further training (i.e., zero-shot). Understanding the performance of mode...

Yay, we built a thing! With @dominik1klein.bsky.social Daniil, Aviv Regev, Barbara Treutlein @graycamplab.bsky.social @fabiantheis.bsky.social we use flow matching to enable generalised sc phenotype modeling. From cytokine screens to fate programming and organoid engineering tinyurl.com/3xhju7db

It was really great to work with @nazbukina.bsky.social @hsiuchuanlin.bsky.social and all people involved in this project! It is cool to see how we can learn about posterior brain development from organoids and how we can extend the organoid protocols from existing ones!

Bit late with this, but super happy that our neural organoid atlas is out in Nature! Really fun collab with @zhisonghe.bsky.social and @le-and-er.bsky.social between the Treutlein lab, @fabiantheis.bsky.social and @graycamplab.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to announce that I will start my group at @crg.eu in Barcelona next April! We will decode and engineer cell fates using stem cell models, perturbation screening and single-cell multiomics. Looking forward to the new chapter ahead!

Glad that our neural organoid atlas is out @Nature! Many interesting analyses for in vitro-in vivo comparisons beyond neural organoid setting - here eg fig 4e, where we visualize on primary reference which brain regions are not yet covered by organoids. Exciting for exp design!

Now in Nature! As a highly collaborative team with people from the Treutlein lab, @fabiantheis.bsky.social and @graycamplab.bsky.social, led by me, @le-and-er.bsky.social and @josch1.bsky.social, we generated the so far largest cell atlas of neural #organoid. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
