An exciting new paper on the application of federated deep learning to pan-cancer proteomic data. Congrats to the Procan team for this achievement! Very happy to have contributed our breast cancer dataset to this important work.

Today is the last day in the lab for for Marion Motard, who joined the lab for her Masters then stayed on as a research assistant. She did brilliant work on GNNs to predict gene module enrichment in histology images. She is returning to Europe, quickly offer her a job in ML/computational !

I had a great time at the #wehispatial25 meeting. So much excellent spatial ‘omics going on in Oz.
But weware the @wehi rubber chicken

I'm chairing session ED52 "Innovative Approaches in TME Biology: From Profiling to Function" at #AACR2025. I'll present data using cellular and functional genomics to identify small molecule mediators of stromal plasticity. Also the amazing Illaria Malanchi and Nick Navin. LMK if u will be there!

We recently released a new preprint on human localised prostate cancer biology. We used scRNA-Seq and spatial transcriptomics to dig deep into epithelial plasticity and stromal biology
