Why do some inflammatory bowel disease patients benefit from anti-TNF therapy whilst others do not? Our new @NatImmunol resource paper investigates this question by following patients before and after treatment: nature.com/articles/s41590-0… 👇

Ever analyze a scRNAseq dataset and wonder if a specific cell state has been seen before? And if so, where in the human body? Under what conditions? Well, now you can use our lightning fast SCimilarity search and foundational model for that! ⚡️🔎🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/11)

*when the villain in the movie has a PhD* Viewers without a PhD: Ah, they are just saying he’s a smart villain. Makes sense. Viewers with a PhD: Ah, grad school and academia drove him to madness. Makes sense.

(1/7) Excited to share two stories on (1) modeling multimodal combinatorial single-cell CRISPR screens and (2) predicting the effect of unseen drugs transfer learning across diff assays together with @fabian_theis and other collaborators (shut out in the thread)

It's shocking how lower women pay is at @UniofOxford than men. Stop using IWD to advertise yourself and start actually doing something to celebrate women, like paying them equal.
In this organisation, women's median hourly pay is 13.7% lower than men's.

On Tuesday, a member of our lab family Dr Ling Felce died in a road traffic accident. She was a kind, caring and incredibly bright colleague who was always willing to help others. Words cannot express how much we miss her and how sad we are about the lost future ahead.
