Glad to present Unico, our new distribution-free method for deconvolving bulk omic to uncover cell-type-level insights (with results on recapitulating B cell profile in FL tumor expression and high consistency in cell-type-level methylation association): genomebiology.biomedcentral.…

The CGSI community is heartbroken by the recent events in Israel. Our thoughts are with our friends from the CGSI community who have been affected by the heartless attacks on Israeli civilians. We send our sincere wishes for your safety and the safety of your loved ones.

We are heartbroken to share that the bodies of over 260 people massacred by #Hamas terrorists were found today (October 8) at the site of the music festival in Re’im, southern #Israel. Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of the victims in the wake of this senseless tragedy. May their memories forever be a blessing.🕯️ #IsraelUnderAttack #StandWithIsrael

If you really want to know what happened in Israel, watch this: the most painful video I’ve seen yet. Terrified Israeli family being held hostage by Hamas terrorists after they killed one of the sisters of the little girl. 💔

In one of several similar incidents, one of the Hamas attackers who broke into the home of a grandmother in Nir Oz, near #Gaza, killed her, filmed it with her phone and uploaded the video to her Facebook - which is how her grand-daughter found out.

My aunt's in-laws are missing close family, ages 26 and 28, I believe they were at the music festival. Please get in touch if you have any information about them 😭

The family of Doron and her two daughters, Raz and Aviv, saw how they were kidnapped into Gaza by Hamas terrorists. Their family asked to share this so everyone will know the truth. There are many more Israelis who were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. Israel is under a heinous terror attack.

Our paper is finally out in @Nature_NPJ Genomic Medicine! If you're interested in how methylation risk scores (MRS) can be used to impute clinical information found in electronic health records, have a look! @CompMedUCLA @UCLAHealth 1/n nature.com/articles/s41525-0…

Heading to @icmlconf next week! If you’re interested in ML x healthcare and/or want to chat about the research we’re doing at Optum Labs, please come find me or shoot me a message! #ICML2022 #OptumLabs

CGSI is back in person! Exciting! Join us this summer!

Very proud of Brian! In our journey together, Brian made major contributions in ML applications to anesthesiology, ophthalmology, covid-19, and genomics, and most importantly, always with a positive attitude. It was an absolute pleasure. @CompMedUCLA @UCLAAnes @UCLAengineering

I am so excited to present our recent work cataloging the genetic ancestry map of UCLA patients; this is the result of a multi-year project involving many amazing collaborators. A thread of our findings is below: (1/11) medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

$13 million NIH contract will help UCLA expand COVID-19 testing compmed.ucla.edu/news/purcha… @CompMedUCLA results demonstrate the potential for SwabSeq to be used for COVID-19 and emerging viruses on an unprecedented scale @ArboledaVal @ZarEskinCompMed

Noninvasive monitoring is critical to reducing complications and unnecessary risk to the patients in the OR and in the ICU. I hope this work will be translated into clinical practice in the near future. This was a fantastic collaboration with a truly interdisciplinary team.

I am so excited to announce CAPE: Center for Admixed Populations and Health Equity @CompMedUCLA @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla @ucla as part of of the @NIH @genome_gov PRS diversity! CAPE is co-led by the amazing Leslie Lange @CUAnschutz and @EimearEKenny at @IcahnMountSinai! 1/
