I couldn't have hoped for a better conclusion to my visit to @sangerinstitute It was an incredible experience to be able to present my work from the last six months at the #AIxBio25 conference. I’d like to deeply thank @mo_lotfollahi and @gtesta72 for giving me this opportunity.

I'm honoured to join @CRUK_CI and @Cambridge_Uni as a Junior Group Leader of AI for Cancer. My group will focus on reasoning, multimodality, hypothesis-making, and more to decode disease and health. A few positions are opened — consider applying to outsmart cancer together!

امیدوارم که خانواده هاتون سالم باشن، چشمهامون اشک آلوده برای ایران، برای کودکان و ادم های بیگناه که به خاک و خون کشیده شدن. برای همه دانشجویان ایرانی در زمینه هوش مصنوعی و بیوانفرماتیک و زیست شناسی محاسباتی که دچار مشکل شدن برای ادامه تحصیل یا تحقیقاتشون، به من ایمیل بزننین برای مشاوره یا هرکاری که از دستم بر میاد.

(1/n) The first preprint from our lab is now out in @NatureGenet! We tried to tackle a key challenge in spatial biology to quantitatively characterizing cellular niches by learning spatial gene programs using NicheCompas led by @SebastianBirk_. Paper: shorturl.at/b4Hjk

Delighted to share my PhD thesis work is now published in @Nature! This study tracks the journey of blood stem cells in aging mice, examining how the clonal dynamics of blood production change over time. A short 🧵1/n #aging #stemcells #clonalhematopoiesis nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

(1/8) IMPA is published now in @NatureComms. (a) It can generate phenotypic cell painting/microscopy data images under unseen drug and genetic perturbations. (b) It learns a perturbation map of treatment similarities (small molecules together with genetic) and (c) it corrects batch effects in microscopy data. This was @ale__palmaa’s master’s thesis, which I supervised with @fabian_theis. link to the paper: shorturl.at/USp57

Job opportunity! 🚨 Our lab, together with @Muzz_Haniffa's team at @sangerinstitute, is hiring an Advanced Research Assistant/Technical Specialist. We're looking for someone passionate about organoid modeling, CRISPR screening, and spatial technologies to help create accurate in vitro models. These efforts will contribute to training large-scale AI models, supported by @OpenTargets. This role also includes opportunities to develop computational and machine learning skills. Feel free to DM me with any questions. Apply here: sanger.wd103.myworkdayjobs.c… ⏰ closing date: 10.01.2025

Thrilled to share our recent work on cutaneous T cell lymphoma. Check it out. ⁦@NatImmunol⁩ ⁦@teichlab⁩ ⁦@HaniffaLab⁩ nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

#TheBlackPhDExperience is out in the world! 🥳 Charting 27 personal stories within UK academia, find mine on academic support in Chapter 4 Thanks to our brilliant editors for their persistence & community @shaineNeuro @willackah @madina_immuno @jsd_lndn Wayne Mitchell @Bsc2Phd

Honored to have contributed to this fantastic piece of work. PS: Thank you so much @C_D_Todd for introducing me to the fascinating world of enhancer priming over 3 years ago🙏

Two Iranians. One Olympics. Hopeful for the day they can compete for the same country again.

Our lab, in collaboration with partners from @genentech, @sanofi, @gsk, @pfizer, @sangerinstitute, and @emblebi, has been awarded £2M by @OpenTargets to generate novel perturbation data across multiple disease models and develop large generative models to facilitate the discovery of drug targets. As part of the first wave of hires, I am looking for candidates for two machine learning-focused positions at different levels (Predoc, Postdoc) and one computational biologist. The positions available are: 1. Machine Learning Scientist (Phd required, Senior Postdoc): tinyurl.com/mph5k538 2. Machine Learning Scientist (Postdoc, Predoc (Msc)): tinyurl.com/y56ct92n 3. Computational Biologist and Applied ML (Postdoc): tinyurl.com/468n53rz deadline 3.07.24

Are you interested in developing hypotheses and methods? For the curious and motivated, we are looking for a computational postdoc to join our rapidly expanding organoid team with @Muzz_Haniffa at the @sangerinstitute Deadline 21/06, please share! 🙌🏾 tinyurl.com/mwfp94tc

📢If you're excited about organoid models, the genetic architecture of immune diseases and the regulation of gene expression, there is a #PhD position in our lab @humantechnopole waiting for you! Interested candidates can get in touch for more info. Please, share! 🙏

🧬 Our next #GenomicsLite webinar will focus on #StemCells. We will look at what they are and their potential in the body, with Dr Gambardella and Dr Admane, from @sangerinstitute. Extraordinary science, explained! 📅 25 April, 4.30pm GMT, online. 🔗 cstu.io/4373fc

My lab is hiring a postdoc! We use state-of-the-art genomics, single-cell and spatial approaches to explore cancer initiation and evolution. Come join us at @MDAndersonNews! Please share and RT. jobs.mdanderson.org/search/j…

How can creating an atlas of cells in the body help us understand cell development, treating diseases and preventative medicine? 🧬 Find out in our next #GenomicsLite webinar with Dr Winheim and Feri Torabi, from @sangerinstitute! 📅21 March, 4.30pm 🔗 cstu.io/fabdc5
