Cellular crosstalk is fundamental to tissue biology. We are very excited to share our novel computational method - REMI - for reconstructing cell-cell communication from omics data! Read the article here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

My PhD defense is this Monday, 4/25 at 11:30 AM EST! The 1-hour talk will be hybrid. Please DM me by Friday, 4/22 if you'd like details on how to attend! 😊 I am excited to share with y'all the culmination of my dissertation research during my time Cornell BME in the AndarawisPuri_Lab 🥳

CELESTA from the Stanford Plevritis Lab is an unsupervised cell type identification method for multiplexed in situ imaging. It identifies cell types based on the expression profiles of cells and their spatial information. nature.com/articles/s4159…

We wrote CELESTA to make identifying cells in multiplexed images faster+easier. It's been a lifesaver, esp. in complex (and thus v. interesting) biological tissues! Check it out in the paper and on github: github.com/plevritis-lab/… ... and let us know if you try it out!

I am delighted to announce that I will be joining the Computational Biology Department at Cornell University as an Assistant Professor in January 2023!

Roe v Wade is dead. It is no coincidence that we are watching abortion rights fall the same year the most anti-trans/lgbt laws have been passed in history. These are two sides of the same coin in the same fight and the same people are fighting with the same justifications.

A little late, but it’s my joy to share the successful defense of my dear friend Nasa Sinnott-Armstrong. Their resilience, compassion, and dedication to reimagining science & what being a scientist can be has inspired my journey in STEM! Join their lab Fred Hutch Cancer Center! 💜🏳️‍⚧️🧬

It all feels beyond surreal. I am extremely grateful to have received this year’s Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellowship @HMS_DICP HMS Postdoc Office! I had low expectations for this application, but I was distinctly proud of how much I conveyed my full self in those statements. What even 😭

Data visualization inspiration thanks to DALL-E: how Rothko, Basquiat, Picasso, and Monet would create an academic chart.

Excited to share the latest preprint with Michael Angelo! While imaging studies often focus on cell objects, images capture significant info outside of cells. Enter Pixie, a pipeline for the quantitative annotation of both pixel and cell level features🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hey y'all, if you care about transgender rights, I'm coming to you with new request. Biden released a rule that will make trans health care benefits SUBSTANTIALLY easier to receive under sec 1557. Please comment in support of trans healthcare equality: regulations.gov/document/HHS-O…

A new paper from one of our collaborators! Congratulations! Ngan F Huang, PhD Stanford CVI used the Enable Medicine Platform with #RNAscope to explore the #spatial organization of endothelial cells in a model of atherosclerosis. Access the Enable Platform here: app.enablemedicine.com/sign-up

How great would it be if all 33 of these Black postdocs went on to achieve their career goals? Last night we discussed our plan for making that happen. Please support the National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) by RT'ing so our group can increase our visibility, grow, and further increase our impact.

The West is still trying to understand #iran ‘s Feminist Revolution happening in real time because it is confined by colonial paradigm of what feminism is—yet in Iran Kurdish & Iranian women are showing the world what feminism is. A thread 🧵

📣 Announcing MISO, a dataset generation framework for evaluating megapixel image classifiers & their post-hoc explanations! w/ Parag M Stanford Plevritis Lab at #ECCV2022~ 🍜 MISO — Megapixel Images with Salient Objects — and its generated datasets enable architecture selection.

Six years after the Pulse massacre, waking up on another Sunday — on Transgender Day of Remembrance — to read about a another murderous rampage of gun violence in the place where LGBTQ people are meant to be safe to look, talk, laugh and dance as ourselves is soul crushing. #TDOR
