🧪🧪 The Immunological Proteome Resource is now on Bluesky as well.

ImmPRes is an open access resource created to provide an in-depth, high quality, quantitative map of the immuno proteome. It integrates immune cell proteomic data generated by quantitative mass-spectrometry.

Our lab’s review on antibody drug conjugates just came out in JCI! We discuss some of their immune stimulatory properties and also how they can help create drugs of the future. Check it out here if you’re curious! www.jci.org/articles/vie... 🧪

Are you an R user who is interested in learning Python?

This blog from Rebecca Barter introduces Python from an R user's perspective 🧪

Rebecca Barter - An introduction to Python for R Users
I have a confession to make: I am now a Python user. Don't judge me, join me! In this post, I introduce Python for data analysis from the perspective of an R (tidyverse) user.

Excited to have this Opinion out! We propose that the diverse functions of Treg cells in health and disease may be interpreted in terms of different dynamical regimes of an immune cell circuit, which provides a powerful framework for analyzing experimental data.

Interesting review, does model complexity ⬆️ understanding?

“If classical algorithms are divided from human understanding, they are also divided from data…Machine learning changes this. The “algorithms” are no longer designed by engineers but instead tuned by machines based on large amounts of data”

@danirabaiotti.bsky.social could I be added to the science 🧪 feed? I’m interested in designing new immunotherapies to treat metastatic cancer using natural killer cells!

I hope with all the twitter changes occurring, bluesky can become a source where we can discover new exciting papers.

Also hello bluesky, first post etc. I’m into making new cancer immunotherapies and natural killer cells 🧪
