Honored to be featured in Genomic Press's Rising Stars series!✨.In this very personal interview, I share the path that led me to neuroscience🧠, the anime that changed my life, and what drives my research. 📰 Read it here:

Looks like I missed out big by going to the Syracuse instead of Etna. @brainevodevo @MarilynSteyert Did you see any signs of this eruption?.

Tip when exploring our spatial data browser : click on the gear icon and change cell opacity mode from auto to manual. Things show up much better visually. -We couldn't find a way to make this the default when launching the browser😓-

We’ll be recruiting at all levels! If you're interested, feel free to reach out at qianlabrecruit@gmail.com. Official position postings will be shared soon—stay tuned! 🧠🧑🏻‍🔬🧑🏽‍🔬🧑🏾‍💻👩🏼‍🔬👨🏿‍💻🔬.

My lab will explore how the human cerebral cortex develops—and what goes wrong in neurodevelopmental disorders—by combining human-based approaches such as brain organoids and spatial omics. 🧬🧠

I'm thrilled to share that I will be starting my independent lab this winter as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the new BRIDGE Center at @ChildrensPhila and @PennMedicine! Grateful for the support from mentors, collaborators, and friends—excited for what's ahead! 🧠✨

@Nature Huge thanks to our great team. Bioinformatics: Kyle, Shunzhou, and Chunyu from @DrMingyaoLi lab @PennMedicine; cell segmentation: @computingnature; NIH NeuroBioBank; Chris for wonderful mentorship, and other members of @ChrisAWalsh1 lab.

@Nature Seeing is believing- Our study emphasizes the synergistic analysis of molecular and spatial data, yielding insights unattainable through traditional methodologies, and setting the paradigm for a comprehensive spatial developmental atlas of the human brain.

@Nature 🔍 Key findings:.1. A sharp molecular border between V1 and V2 appears by GW20—long before the anatomical boundary. 2. The six-layer cortical structure is detectable by GW22 from excitatory neuron subtypes, despite no visible lamination.

Today in @Nature, we report a spatial single-cell atlas of human cortical development, revealing surprisingly early specification of human cortical layers and areas. We built an interactive browser to explore the spatial data: Paper link below👇

POV: "Having too much single-cell data but don't know what to do about it.". Each of those is a 5TB hard drive. Happy Easter! 🎉 🎉

Heartbroken by the tragedy. I recently fell in love with the manga #Medalist (#メダリスト), which beautifully captures the passion of junior figure skaters and their coach and family. I don’t want to think about who to blame—I just feel deeply sad.
