🚨What if we could reliably program macrophage polarization state?🚨 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… Macrophages are highly plastic immune cells that perform critical functions by polarizing into distinct cellular states. The polarization state of macrophages can substantially influences the progression of cancers, infections, and autoimmunity. (1/11)

PSA: get your flu shot now if you haven't already Using last year's flu trends as a template, from today we expect infection rates to double every 1.5 weeks, peaking ~2 months from now. After vax, immunity takes 1.5 weeks to kick in, peaks at 1-2 months, decays after 3 months.

As an Editor, in past ~6mo, we are receiving an avalanche of unsolicited review articles (“scoping” “systematic”, narrative, NOS) on topics and ?s NO ONE EVER has asked and clearly with heavy AI lift. Even the cover letters all read the same…alarming and sad. #publishing

1. COMBINATORIAL STOICHIOMETRY: Regulators do not act alone, there is redundancy, competition, synergy & feedback. Knocking them down one by one is insufficient to learn the spectrum of regulatory effects (which is essential to generalize). 2/

The Keedy Lab at the CUNY ASRC in NYC is looking for a postdoc! Our lab uses avant-garde structural biology experiments and computational analyses to reveal conformational ensembles that underlie biological function. See attached flyer and keedylab.org. Please share!

Exciting news! Our team was selected to receive the @NIH Director's Pioneer Award! Our project asks: can we make a tool to perturb & map proteome function at scale, to do “do for proteins what CRISPR has done for genes"?
The NIH Director’s High-Risk, High-Reward Research Awards empower innovative scientists redefining the limits of biomedical and behavioral research. Meet the 2026 recipients of the NIH Director’s Pioneer, New Innovator, and Transformative Research Awards and discover the groundbreaking research they’re pursuing: go.nih.gov/BxJzhAG

getting old is insane. we found out last week my grandpa has cancer and the doctor was just like "he's 90 years old, he says it's not bothering him, we're just gonna leave it be, otherwise we'd make him miserable" and like. yeah he's kinda right

Delighted to share our paper led by Dr Mubin Tarannum in my lab #romeelab @DanaFarber showing how spatially restricted IL-12 in CAR NK cells leads to markedly enhanced tumor responses beating IL-15 and mediated through car and IL-12 signaling synergy through mTORC1
Now online: Spatially confined IL-12 programs CAR-NK through mTORC1 to coordinate antitumor immune networks doi.org/10.1158/2159-8290.CD…

Excited to share DR-GEM, a self-supervised computational framework for dimensionality reduction and clustering, and its application to single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. nature.com/articles/s41467-0… Congrats to the team! @christineyyeh, who spearheaded this study, @DixianZhu, and @minwsun. Here is a quick overview of the paper 👇 (1/11)

Brain cancers take advantage of neural circuit activity. Re-purposing an anti-seizure med called levetiracetam disrupts an important neuron-cancer interaction in #DMG #DIPG, slowing growth and extending survival in mice and retrospective patient data. nature.com/articles/s41591-0…
