Scientist, still hanging around the UC Davis Genome Center. I guess I currently have 11 protons, because people keep telling me i'm Sodium Fine ;)

Excited to share our work at @natcomms.nature.com

We used single cell proteomics to define the functional heterogeneity of human neutrophils in glioblastoma, finding pro and anti-tumorigenic effector states invisible to scRNAseq.

SCP will revolutionise immunology, this is just the start

I don't know exactly what this all means, but I'm running cascadia github.com/Noble-Lab/ca... on my genome centers A100 80GB GPU so it's probably really cool I'm guessing

I've been very impressed with the Ceres Nano-Trap enrichment beads so far. www.ceresnano.com/nanotrap-peak . I just quantified over 2200 proteins from Dog Plasma. Including reliably seeing KITLG (Stem Cell Factor) which is in the pg/ml range I think. Let's see O-link do that in in dog ...Pfft.

Holy crap the new AI's are scary . I uploaded a dataset and asked gemini 3.0 what proteins should not be in the list based on the biology and what it told me sounded really plausible. The trick is figuring out if it's right I guess....

Quick heads up - there will soon be a job posting for a Staff Scientist / Senior Staff Scientist in our lab in Copenhagen to support all our mass spec proteomics adventures!

Great colleagues, lots of cool projects… and you’ll get to work with me 😅

Please DM if you’re interested!

wow! apparently UC Davis doesn't have access to Journal of Proteome research any more . @jyates.bsky.social do you know if this is a permanent thing ?

I try the newest version of DIA-NN, version 2.3 and its new Infini search approach on some Lumos and tismTOF HT datasets. If you're new to DIA-NN this might be a good video to watch. youtu.be/MIMnDw0loCk

If you are in Davis and will be affected by the SNAP benefits cut, go to Central Park at 9 pm on weekdays for the Night Market. It’s run by good people, I’ve checked it out and gotten a couple of things from it myself, and there was plenty of food - they collect surplus food from nearby restaurants.
