We are proud to announce Bing Ren, PhD, as the new Scientific Director & CEO of the NYGC. Dr. Ren brings his expertise in the fields of genomics & epigenetics to the NYGC & Columbia University, where he will hold a joint appointment. For more on Dr. Ren: bit.ly/3DJXtah

Cellular interactions span scales and shape cell states & tissue function. We introduce STEAMBOAT, a multiscale attention model for spatial omics that reveals how cells interact - from local contact to long-range signals. Led by Lane Fellow Shaoheng Liang. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I can't get over these 3D spatial images in the latest preprint from Peter Sorger Ajit Johnson Nirmal et al. The preprint is a roadmap on how to conduct 3D cyclic immunofluorescence using "thick" archival sections and precisely map cell-cell interactions biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Welcome to visit our lab’s 1st #AACR poster! STHD: ML/AI method for sub-cellular cell typing for spatial transcriptomics (eg. 2um spots in VisiumHD) by integrating scRNA reference. (Section45 Board27) #AACR2025 Recruiting-ML/AI for Omics at Duke!

How does tumour heterogeneity arise? How can we predict cancer cell plasticity? In 2 studies, we trace #glioblastoma heterogeneity to a spatial cancer cell trajectory w. atlassing bit.ly/4mkrWgs & predict plasticity w. snRNA/ATAC+deep learning bit.ly/3FbI6Ic 🧵

Proseg is a segmentation tool for single-cell spatial transcriptomics data that uses unsupervised probabilistic modeling of transcript spatial distribution, for accurate segmentation without multimodal staining. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Wow Stereo-Seq V2 (available via BGI) is featured in Cell This upgrade allows for total transcription of all RNA families including non-polyadenylated ncRNAs and metatranscriptomics in ARCHIVAL samples. A game changer! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
