Feeling grateful after an inspiring #AACR2025 in Chicago. High-impact science, great communication, and insightful conversations around AI in cancer research. I closed with my poster—on how we are using AI to predict the oncogenic effect of noncoding mutations.

If you're still at #AACR25 tomorrow, stop by my poster on using AI to illuminate noncoding cancer genomes (Section 44, Board 7)! If you're heading out today, check out our paper in Cancer Research—and feel free to contact me to discuss!

Excited that the @theaacr.bsky.social Annual Meeting in Chicago is just around the corner! Looking forward to learning from leading experts.
If you’re interested in how we’re using AI to illuminate the non-coding genome in cancer, I’ll be presenting our poster on April 30 (9am–12pm), Section 4.

Great talk by Dr. Mahat @MIT on how enhancer misregulation drives immune dysfunction.

Using click chemistry, their method reveals that enhancer bursts precede gene transcription bursts; powerful insight into gene regulation!
Thanks @ColumbiaSysBio for allowing these seminars.

Two inspiring days of cutting-edge science🧬Grateful to Dr. Ami Bhatt’s lab at @Stanford for the warm welcome.

I hope my work on illuminating the noncoding genome with AI provides valuable insights.
🔜Stay tuned for my upcoming review in Cancer Research.
