🕰️🚆🦠 Excited to share our new preprint: “Optimal transport fate mapping resolves T cell differentiation dynamics across tissues”!
We use OT to infer realistic CD8 T cell differentiation and migration trajectories from scRNA-seq timecourses.

Congratulations @alecplot for winning a best poster award at data science day for work predicting CD8 T-cell fates with @JJMilnerLab :) Truthfully, this a picture from last week, but is the same poster. Great job Alec.

Happy to share that our story is out! @SciImmunology
Our study demonstrates that sustained CD28 signaling, is required to maintain PD-1 CD8 T cells during chronic antigen stimulation (1/)

Our work on ENTER is finally out @CellCellPress! Like📱that can 📷📞🎧, ENTER is a modular viral platform that unifies multiple applications:
⭐️Decode Ligand-Receptor interaction
⭐️Receptor-specific cargo delivery
⭐️Link receptor specificity with cell state at single cell

Have you ever wondered if you could leverage RNA velocity data to better resolve biological trajectories or disease phenotypes?
Delighted to share that our benchmarking study is out today in @GenomeBiology! Biggest thank you to @natstann @purvislab 😊
