For those of you hunting for your next position, please consider applying for a postdoctoral position in our lab. Our science is wild and exciting, and I promise to train and feed (yes, w/free food) you well. It doesn't hurt that we are on a publication hot streak.

Excited to share our R package for microbiome data analysis, published @CellRepMethods, which makes log-ratio lasso regression more accessible for R users, supporting continuous, binary and survival (competing risks) outcomes. github.com/vdblab/FLORAL doi.org/10.1016/j.crmeth.202…

My wife, Vicky, made an award-winning & touching short film "Elephant". It's about a jovial old man trying to process his Alzheimer's diagnosis while agonizing over how to protect his love from heartbreak. vimeo.com/389534683 A love story in time for Valentine's Day 🙂

Exciting opportunity for a Data Engineer to join the van den Brink lab at MSKCC and help us understand how gut bacteria affect cancer patients! linkedin.com/jobs/view/28378…

Hey everyone, for something a little different on Black Friday, I'd like to show you a no budget micro-short my wife (I helped a bit) made before the pandemic. She shot it in <4 hours with a couple of talented SAG actors! vimeo.com/506658049 #indiefilm #shortfilm #Filmmaking

Excited to share some new work with @sajraparicio, @SohrabShah, and teams where we looked at genomic instability at allele-specific resolution in more than 30,000 single-cell whole genomes 1/11

A new statistical framework for mutation signature discovery out today: journals.plos.org/ploscompbi… . Fantastic work by @tylerfunnell - integrates multiple mutation types into signature discovery with correlated topic models: relevant to cancers with DNA repair defects.

How to classify cell types in single cell RNA-seq data without needing to cluster data up front? Use CellAssign - new method from @kieranrcampbell and Allen Zhang in the lab out today: biorxiv.org/content/early/20… , encodes prior information for probabilistic cell-type assignment.
