Take a look at our first batch of human cerebellar #organoids! 🧠 🧫 Aren't they beautiful.
Collab between our lab + Liliana Attisano at U Toronto. Nice work Maria Mangos and Nishka Kishore from Pai Lab! Thank you Alex Atamian and @giorgiaquadrato.bsky.social group for guidance. #brainorganoids

Finally activated CoPilot on my VScode this morning. It's eerie, almost like it's reading my mind and I'm auto-completing a LOT ... feels like my long term risk of RSI is going down already... Hmm, let's see where the catch is...

Thrilled to share the results in Cancer Cell of years of hard work to develop classifiers for all major TCGA cancer subtypes, enabling assessment of differential drug response among cancer subtypes in clinical trials. www.cell.com/cancer-cell/...
Classification of non-TCGA cancer samples to TCGA molecular subtypes using compact feature sets
Ellrott et al. provide a means to assign patient samples from clinical trials and other cancer genome studies to published TCGA molecular subtypes. Applying machine learning to data from five different molecular platforms for 8,791 TCGA tumor samples, they contribute a public resource of 737 top classifier models, which can form the foundation for clinical assay development.

Finally a chance to process some astro data! Here is my image of beautiful Polaris / North Star / Dhruva ध्रुव, surrounded by stars and interstellar dust (i.e., matter that doesn't emit light). Taken in October from our RASC observatory in the Blue Mountains. 👇🏾 Gorgeous luminance detail below...

Congratulations to Ian Cheong, who successfully defended his MSc. thesis this afternoon! 🥳 @mbpatuoft.bsky.social Ian's thesis is titled, "Human and mouse unipolar brush cells and relevance to Group 4 medulloblastoma". Also our first graduate from the Pai lab, so double milestone for us!

Back from an exciting few days at the #CSHL2024Brain meeting - current tech + potential for basic + translational applications is incredible. Great to share our ongoing 'omics work in pediatric hindbrain dev + medulloblastoma. Looking forward to validating biomarkers with Hs cerebellar organoids.

Hello Bluesky! Snagged my handle ages ago but just coming on board. Let's see if we can manage science and other posts with just one account. Hoping this will be less of a dumpster fire than Twitter was...
