University budgets everywhere are getting slashed, and we hear many PhD students with accepted ICML papers can no longer afford to attend. We are stepping in to offer travel grants for researchers who lost funding. Sponsored by Pillar VC, Ormoni Bio, Latent Labs, and Cimulate

In the nucleus, many intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) form condensates. What IDP sequence features drive this behavior? We developed CondenSeq, a high-throughput method to measure nuclear condensate formation & applied it to ~14000 IDPs to find out rdcu.be/eq975

I’ll speak on July 16 (2:30pm ET) at NSF@75: Advancing Statistical Science for a Data‑Driven World @InStatsOrg conference. My talk is about an info-theoretic criterion (ITCA) for combining ambiguous class labels: jmlr.org/papers/v23/21-… Free registration: instats.org/seminar/nsfa75…

Introducing Arc Institute’s first virtual cell model: STATE

I’m honored to join Fred Hutch as Professor and Program Head of Biostatistics, and as the Donald and Janet K. Guthrie Endowed Chair in Statistics. Excited to be part of a deeply collaborative and scientifically vibrant community with a rich legacy of impact.

Happy to share that our work from the Nicholas Mancuso lab is out in Nature Genetics! We developed SuShiE, a multiancestry fine-mapping method for molecular traits. doi.org/10.1038/s41588…

Thrilled to share that I just successfully defended my PhD! Thanks to my committee, collaborators, and everyone who’d supported me throughout my seven years at UCLA. A special thank you to my PI Harold for his incredible mentorship! Harold Pimentel

🚀 Join CongLab Stanford University! We’re hiring postdocs to create lab-in-the-loop self-evolving AI agents, open benchmarks, to design, test & learn—advancing safer gene & cell therapies. Build on CRISPR-GPT, RNAGenesis model, Genome-Bench, for innovative medicines. #PostdocJobs

Check out our latest foundation model for wearable sensor data (LSM-2)!

Presenting at #ISMBECCB2025 tomorrow! GASTON-Mix, a unified model of spatial gradients and domains in spatial 'omics data. 11:20am UK time at RegSys Also recruiting students for my new lab at JHU Computer Science, feel free to reach out if you want to chat

🧬 BREAKING: Our CRISPR-GPT paper is out TODAY in Nature Biomedical Engineering Nature Biomedical Engineering ! 🤯 We built an AI agent that turns ANYONE into a gene-editing expert in 1 DAY instead of months. An undergrad with ZERO experience achieved 90%+ editing efficiency on their FIRST attempt. 🧵

Thanks for posting. I wasn't aware of this beautiful exposition by Richard McElreath 🐈‍⬛, which I highly recommend for curious statisticians. Primer is now available free of charge: bayes.cs.ucla.edu/PRIMER/ Including Homework and Solution Manual, which we have released for enlightened
