Understanding complex diseases requires approaches that jointly analyze omic data across multiple biological layers. In our new preprint, we merge data-driven multiomic factor analysis with systematic integration of mechanistic knowledge using COSMOS+ 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1101/2024.07.15.6…

I recently reviewed James Keener's "Biology in Time and Space: A Partial Differential Equation Modeling Approach". Well worth checking it out for anyone teaching or working in maths bio or Applied PDEs/Dynamical Systems! You can find my review here:

ALT The front cover of the book which contains the title and author, as well as a cartoon of (presumably) cells moving about and interacting with some kind of flagella.

The last day of WIMB always feels like what I imagine Summer Camp to be - I don't want it to end! (Note: I've NEVER been to Summer Camp.)
These women are sooo awesome! I want to hang out with everyone all day & do math/coding/modeling + fun chats + meals.

Doing a PhD is - at heart - one long discussion with your mentor. The discussion changes over time - with unexpected turns and ups & downs - but through it all is a pair of people discussing a topic endlessly to make sense of it.
PhD students: choose someone you like to talk to!

Herculean effort from @KamPoels+colleagues to initiate a clinical trial based on a validated model of combination therapy in lung cancer. Happy to have contributed in the initial stages of model development and to see this finally out in @NatureComms. go.nature.com/3wMTj8x

Transitioning from academia to industry isn’t simple but working with a great team of people to bring new medicines to patients can be an incredibly rewarding and fun experience. (9/)

Me, all day: "Oh, gosh, I really need to work on X. Ugh, and Y really needs to get done this week. Oh, no, I forgot I have to do Z!!"
Me, finally finding time to sit at my computer: *stares blankly in complete overwhelm until I get interrupted*

The debate and confusion about masks for #COVID19 just got some real and important data from a rigorous randomized trial in patients with coronavirus (and influenza). They work.
