Think more, talk less. Bioinformatics Genomics scientist, professor. Love life, brain & people.

Joined April 2009
😀announce a new release (v1.5) of our software for #scRNA-seq data integration. Yang has made quite a few changes to make #RISC/RPCI more memory efficient and faster. It can now handle > 1 million cells, to catch up where the field is moving 😀. More at
github.com
A R package for integrated scRNA-seq data analysis using the RPCI algorithm - bioinfoDZ/RISC
Thrilled and relieved this work, led by a talented postdoc Dr. Yang Liu, is finally out. We propose a new approach for integrating #scRNA-seq data from multiple samples. It is simply linear algebra, nothing as complicated as machine or deep learning. 1/3

Excited to have Mark from Yale visit us and speak in our AI seminar series tomorrow, co-sponsored by the new Data Science Institute at @EinsteinMed
Posting my talk tomorrow on AI in Biomedicine at @EinsteinMed (hosted by @zhengdy) https://t.co/phc9Joe0kO Using AI for brain genomics & thinking about how it can do this research autonomously. Lots of new slides on AI coding & risks from @XiangruTang .

Very happy to see this collaboration work out. My lab contributed a bit to help connect the new findings from mouse model to patients
After a heart attack, fibroblasts can transform into fat cells via disrupted TGF-β signaling, driving lipomatous metaplasia—shedding new light on post-MI remodeling! @IzabelaTuleta @EinsteinMed @zhengdy

Get new single cell data? Want to know which part of your pretty UMAP is “stable” and which part is more affected by hyper parameters? This little tool built by @RohanMisra may be handy

Since reading the first scATACseq paper, I had been wondering if the reported difference from scRNAseq results is due to bioinformatic algorithms or biology. Finally we got a chance to look into this, by applying the same algorithm to both data types and their direct integration.
Binarized gene expression data can be concatenated with chromatin accessibility data for effective and integrated cell clustering @zhengdy @rohanmisra @EinsteinMed #BiotechNatureComms

Yesterday, @EinsteinPHD honored the special connection between graduating Ph.D. students and their mentors during the 6th annual Ph.D. Convocation. The event featured a video in which mentors and students shared reflections and paid tribute to each other. #EinsteinClassof2025

Congratulations Tuomas, Xueqian for a fantastic work 🎉🎊 very grateful for the opportunity to contribute with former @EinsteinPhD student @ferrenabio
Several years in the making (and aging), @Xueqian_Zhuang 's study on aging is out today @Nature. She finds, surprisingly, that aging suppresses tumorigenesis and stemness in the lung by promoting a functional iron insufficiency in the alveolar epithelium.

As Nick Frangogiannis has taught me, fibroblasts are often the cells that didn’t fit any other classification. A question that continues to intrigue the community is: where do the abundant scar fibroblasts in cardiac infarction come from? 1/🧵#CardioTwitter #MedTwitter

Nature - New research identifies some of the genes that could help to explain why lung cancer incidence rises with age but declines after the age of 75.

Excited to share our newest pre-print by Xueqian Zhuang on how aging suppresses tumorigenesis and stemness in the lung by promoting a functional iron insufficiency in the alveolar epithelium. Interestingly, this renders aged cells resistant to ferroptosis:
biorxiv.org
Aging is associated with a decline in the number and fitness of adult stem cells[1][1]–[4][2]. Aging-associated loss of stemness is posited to suppress tumorigenesis[5][3],[6][4], but this hypothesis...
