How do cells organise themselves?
Join Sydney Cytometry + Sydney Mass Spectrometry for SpatialOMIX Sydney, a 2-day deep dive into advances in spatial biology, a fast-growing field revealing how cells and molecules interact inside real tissues.

Metabolic Programming Drives Protective and Inflammatory Monocyte Fates in Viral Encephalitis Bone marrow monocytes infiltrate the West Nile virus-infected brain and differentiate into HIF1-α⁺ monocyte-derived cells (MCs) that diverge into protective, antigen-presenting or inflammatory,…

New path to treat viral #encephalitis? 🧠🦠
In brain infections, some immune cells go full attack mode; others play defence. Blocking their sugar fuel cuts #brain damage without weakening the immune response. Research supported by Sydney Cytometry, a #USYD Core Research Facility.

Ok, I tried to create my own list of people working on developing statistical or machine learning models applied to omics data. I am sure I missed a lot of cool people. If you'd like to be added, let me know. #Stats #ML #Omics

Five months into new gig! Here we are building world class team in Oncofetal research at Garvan Institute! We are looking for a computational biologist with proven track record in spatial biology, if you are keen to explore neighbourhoods drop a text :)

Out today in Nature: "The Human Cell Atlas"! In my News and Views, I compare the cell atlas to early naturalists creating an atlas of South America. Researchers mining this cell atlas can now make big discoveries, just as the next naturalists then discovered evolution.

VAXXED: Game on, with BASE and WEHI Podcast Episode · Phase III · 19/11/2024 · 26m

We are ramping up our attempts to get DC1 immunotherapy into the clinic for colorectal and lung cancer. Here me talk about why DC1s are the right choice, and how
WEHI and PeterMacCC will get it to clinical trial within 2 yrs. Start ~13 min in. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/v...

Last call for our workshop on Computational Cytometry.
Join us for a hands-on program designed for those interested in advancing their skills in computational cytometry data analysis.

Friends, the second #immunology starter pack filled in 3 days! I started a third to help folks new to BlueSky rebuild their network

Below are the links

If you're an immunologist and I have missed you so far, let me know 🧪

Popular lists! Would you mind adding me to III?

Hey mate, nice initiative! Would mind adding me to one of your lists?

Ok folks, here we go! Contact me to be added or to add others

Ah I was just searching for one of these! Count me in 🙋‍♂️

single-cell computational methods Join the conversation

in case this is useful to someone in this massive platform migration: a starting pack for single-cell omics computational methods
go.bsky.app/GmS1cH

A starter pack for single-cell/Spatial community!
This is work-in-progress, Please let me know if you want to added in this evolving list

go.bsky.app/RRBrEUx

I made a starter pack for single cell and spatial people on BlueSky! 🧬🧪🥳

I’m certain it’s very incomplete, so please just let me know if you’d like to be included 😊
