I'm honored to be selected to present my latest research at #COMBINE2025 (part of #ABACBS2025 ) today’s morning.
I'll be introducing CellDiffusion, a new generative model to tackle the challenge of annotating complex single-cell and spatial RNA-seq data by using bulk RNA-seq reference.

The SBEI x COMBINE Career meet-up was a success, facilitating discussion between professional bioinformaticians and students about non-academic career options for bioinformaticians. Thanks to the SBEI volunteers that willingly gave their time for this event!

A fun icebreaker question to start the panel: Would you rather work with no-comment code or without version control?
Our panellists refuse to live without version control!
What's your take?

What a brilliant round of lightning talks - we heard about spatial transcriptomics, methylation, and drug resistance, among a variety of other topics. The presenters did a fantastic job using all 90 available seconds to pitch their projects - make it worth their while by checking out their posters!

Enlightening session by Prof. Karin.
Career paths are not always straight
Embrace collaboration and grow with the technology
As bioinformaticians, we should continue to share how our roles and expertise contribute to different industries.
Next up: Lightening ⚡ talks!!!

Halfway through the AI/ML session. We've heard about using transformer models, augmentation techniques, and structural modelling to drive real-world biological wins in terms of human-mouse modelling, transcriptomic data imbalance, and variant effect prediction.
