New 🧬✂️ pre-print! We show that paired prime editing can efficiently generate large deletions — even >1 Mb — with high precision and at scale. We use this to perform the first pooled prime deletion screen across the human genome.

I am excited to begin my new journey as the Head of Cellular Genomics @sangerinstitute.bsky.social

We will decode and recode tissue ecosystems using AI + big data…

Our amazing faculty include Roser Vento-Tormo, @bayraktarlab.bsky.social, Mo Lotfollahi, Sam Behjati and Song Chen..

Very excited that another chapter of my PhD is finally out! 🎉 We compared methods to infer kinase activities from #phosphoproteomics data so check it out if that sounds interesting to you. More details in the thread below 🧵👇🏼

🚨 New preprint: Topography Aware Optimal Transport for Alignment of Spatial Omics Data

We present our new alignment framework TOAST www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Ever wondered how to best quantify cell-cell neighbor preferences in tissues?
We compared 9+ neighbor preference (NEP) methods for analysing spatial omics data and propose a novel approach that combines the most relevant analysis features which we call COZI 🔬✨
