Honored to be an @HHMINEWS FHS! Grateful to mentors & colleagues @PennCDB @IRM_UPenn @PennEpiInst @PennMedicine for pushing me. Celebrating first day on the job today with @MustafaMir16 @seyvos!

The genetic code is full of synonymous codons that, for decades, were assumed to be interchangeable. Today, with @NVIDIA, co-led by @genophoria, we announce CodonFM, a family of open-source AI models that reveal the grammar underlying codon choice: https://t.co/djABR8BP5D

HPAP has now processed case #200! Thank you to the donors and their families. All data can be found on PANC-DB at

3rd Annual Update on Cancer Care in Latinos, Hispanics, and Latinx Communities, this Sat Nov @TJUHospital SKCCC featuring a speed-mentoring lunch & poster session

Looking forward to speaking at the next faculty fireside chat by the Human Islet Research Network on career journey, key decisions and challenges, and lessons learned. Come in with questions! #immunologymatters

New from us! Had a question about mitophagy but were afraid to ask? 😂 Excited to review the latest advances in beta cell mitophagy research as a key adaptive response in all forms of diabetes in @Trends_Endo_Met. We'd be honored if you have it a read! #T1D #T2D

The medical students who lead Penn Medicine’s Homeless Outreach Project are forging connections with those experiencing homelessness and shining a light on the transformative power of street medicine: https://t.co/dDRYC8kSAc

Congratulations to the 3 @PennMedicine honorees elected to the National Academy of Medicine! Election to @theNAMedicine is considered one of the highest honors in the field of health & medicine. Check back as we profile each new member https://t.co/UBHpGDYtDs

PERC-UP! Join us today at BRB 14th floor lounge for some coffee and community building!

Last year, we helped 100 students save $31K in grad school app fees, covering 44% of costs and giving students from underserved communities the freedom to apply widely. This year, we lost 16 partners = $8.2K setback = 110 fewer dreams. 🎓 You can change that. 💸 Donate to open

🚨How do mitochondria sense and respond to metabolic stress from the environment in diabetes? 🤔 In new work out in @ScienceAdvances, we show that innate immune signaling promotes β cell compensation for metabolic stress by engaging mitophagy. 🚨1/n

HPAP has added 136 new bulk RNA-seq datasets to PANC-DB! Explore here:

Congrats to Dr. Matthew Ishahak and Dr. Liu Wang on their recent @HIRN_CC award!

Congratulations to @IshmailSaboor on receiving the @NIH Director’s Pioneer Award, celebrating “scientists with outstanding records of creativity.” His lab will explore how the sense of touch can help build relationships. 🫶🧠💡See https://t.co/rv8V7mFrJT

Saddened to hear of John Gurdon’s passing. A brilliant scientist, generous mentor, and endlessly curious. When he examined my PhD viva in 2006, he’d just come from doing experiments at his bench - at 73. He shaped so many careers, including mine:

🚨 Kidney + AI milestone 🚨 Never been more excited to share!!! We built Nephrobase Cell+, the first multispecies, multimodal kidney foundation model: Trained on ~40M cells Across 4 species (human, mouse, rat, pig) From 5 modalities (scRNA, snRNA, snATAC, CosMx, Xenium) Kidney

Artist x Researcher Exchange: @Wexford Science and Technology and @uCity Square invites artists and researchers to flex their local muscles to produce collaborative art to challenge assumptions & embrace experimentation, apply by 10/15 - https://t.co/BoVU1dmkXZ

Our RAEFISH spatial transcriptomics technology is now published in Cell @CellCellPress! RAEFISH enables sequencing-free whole genome spatial transcriptomics at single molecule resolution. This work represents the first time that transcripts from more than 23,000 genes were
