Congrats to all authors, & collaborators @hfspo.bsky.social especially #NirGov

Also thanks to those that allowed to promote our work, @dgz.bsky.social

Here, a webinar I gave @tlmcambridge.bsky.social, in case someone is interested in the other aspects of the story.

Proud of our the last paper @cellcommlab.bsky.social & 1st one of @jboixcampos.bsky.social

We continue to study #CellMigration & how cells decide where to go: ↖️↗️⬇️?

Congrats Javi @jboixcampos.bsky.social, you did a fantastic work, so it's very much deserved !
For the next one !

Our work is finally published in @science.org Advances! 🎉

My very first paper, and what a journey it's been 🙂‍↕️

Huge thanks to the whole team, and especially to @pjsaez.bsky.social for believing in me. It turned out way better than I could've ever dreamt ✨

We combined cell biology, #AI based image analysis & a mathematical model to show how migratory behaviour changes with branching

For now macrophages & endothelial cells, but we have many more, stay tuned ;)

Kudos to all authors for the effort, especially to a great Padawan @jboixcampos.bsky.social

#HappyNewYear !
Let's start 2026 with a @cellcommlab.bsky.social paper

How many branches is OK during #CellMigration?
It depends on the #cell: for ex. immune cells are just fine.

In collab. w. #NirGov @hfspo.bsky.social

Hot from the press !

Happy to see this out, and that @cellcommlab.bsky.social contributed with live-cell imaging

Do you want to do some frontier of knowledge research? There's still time to register for the next webinar of @hfspo.bsky.social

By far one of the best agencies I've worked with for my beloved HFSP project, even if it's a bumpy road...no risk no glory...

Learning mindset: every error teaches, every failed analysis provides insight, every solution deserves celebration! Growth through experimentation 🎯

Perfect Sunday in Valencia: laptop in sunshine, working on analysis approaches! Sometimes the best office is wherever inspiration strikes 🌊

Always explore existing tools before building from scratch! The open-source ecosystem is incredible. Standing on giants' shoulders = more time for research 🛠️

Fascinating connection: medieval astronomical charts and modern computational biology plots both try to reveal hidden patterns in complex systems. Timeless challenge! ⭐
August 13, 2025 at 12:34 PM
Every computational biologist started with confused first attempts (and not only the first ones hahaha)! We all begin somewhere - keep learning and building 💪

Data viz philosophy: your plot should tell a clear story immediately, not require lengthy explanation. Good visualization communicates instantly! 📊

Taschen book insight: the best historical infographics combined accuracy with beauty. Modern data viz can learn from centuries of visual communication design! 🎨

Computational biology = professional translation! Biological questions → math problems → computational analysis → biological insights. We're interpreters! 🔄
August 4, 2025 at 2:32 PM
August goals: improve data viz skills, explore new computational approaches, and keep building connections in the research community! 📈

Love this perspective from Taschen's infographics history: every era had to solve the problem of making complex data understandable. Same challenge, evolving tools! 📈

Appreciation for Streamlit! It makes building interactive data apps incredibly accessible! No web dev expertise needed to make analysis tools 🚀
July 28, 2025 at 11:32 AM
Computational thinking: breaking down complex biological questions into manageable components. It's problem-solving methodology beyond just programming! 🧠

Reading about historical cartography: maps were the original interactive data visualizations! Navigation, territory, resources all encoded visually 🗺️

I can't imagine a better day of the week to publish this than #FluorescenceFriday: PathoPlex is finally published! 🎉

This presents a revolutionary jump from 4-6 to 100+ markers per sample! 🤯
