Big shoutout to the whole group who made #IntegrateALL possible - especially @alinamh.bsky.social, Thomas Beder and Claudia Baldus at www.catchall-kfo5010.com

In n=31/1210 B-ALL cases (2.6%), #IntegrateALL identified drivers from two different subtypes in one sample! One gene expression signature dominated in most cases, supporting unsupervised screening for drivers.

Analysis with our ICC/WHO-HAEM5 based rule-set yielded ~80% unambiguous subtype definitions based on driver calls and corresponding gene expression signatures, which was validated across independent cohorts. - Many thanks to collaborators @ www.mll.com!

With #IntegrateALL, we extract from RNA-seq:

- Expression counts
- B-ALL subtypes via #ALLCatchR
- Driver gene fusions
- SNVs
- Virtual karyotypes

For classifying #RNASeqCNV B-ALL karyotypes, we built #KaryALL, a machine-learning classifier reaching 0.98 accuracy!

Excited to share our preprint📯:
We introduce #IntegrateALL, an open-source RNA-seq pipeline for interpretable molecular diagnostics in acute lymphoblastic leukemia!🧬

Finally some larger perspective after a long day on call… 🚀

What determines Inotuzumab sensitivity in #ALL?
New @bloodjournal.bsky.social study from C. Escherich &
@junjyang.bsky.social Lab highlights the role of B cell developmental state and EBF1. It was a pleasure to provide a commentary!

At #EHA2025, HemaSphere was honored to award authors of 4 recent + highly influential publications that significantly contribute to the hematology field. Congrats to Thomas Beder & coauthors for their publication about ALLCatchR identifying B-cell precursor ALL subtypes 👉https://bit.ly/409NrHe

So true!!

Is there an AI that can rewrite CVs according to the needs of each grant application? Genuinely interested. Imagine how much research we could do if we weren't reformatting CVs constantly.
