🐳Who said we cannot dream big? Good news comes in pairs: i) LABS' first Nature Medicine paper got accepted this morning (look forward to sharing the online version very soon), and ii) LABS is finally NIA-funded (labs-laboratory.com/funding)! I want to thank all my trainees, friends,…
Alexa Pichet Binette and I will chair the FRS on integrative analysis of imaging genetics and proteomics for AD and aging! Hope to see you guys there for a vivid discussion!
Thrilled to see Christos receive well-deserved recognition for his pioneering work in applying ML/AI to neuroimaging! Bonus: Christos' team has integrated all these AI/ML methods into the open-sourced Nichart platform (neuroimagingchart.com), partnered with AWS, where you can…
Great honor for me to receive the DeLeon senior scientist award at the international Alzheimer's meeting. I share it with the amazing former PhD student @ZhijianYang97 who did this work (lnkd.in/esHmimvK), co-supervisors @JunhaoWen and Ilya Nasrallah, and collaborators.
LABS is currently recruiting at all levels, including postdoctoral researchers and PhD candidates (through Columbia Engineering): labs-laboratory.com/job. Come join us for cool science on multi-organ, multi-omics modeling of human aging and disease!

Happening now! The Immersive Workshop for Basics of Genetic Analysis! Thanks a lot @natvilortejedor, @taviaevans's leadership, and all other teaching staff and speakers who make this happen (@emmaluckettneu1, @LuigiLorenzini1, @BlancaRodFer, # Patricia Genius)! A lot of effort…
Tenure-track faculty search of the @Ucsf_Biochem Department is open for applications! We are looking for creative, innovative scientists asking fundamental questions in any area of biology. Join our vibrant, collaborative, and supportive community! aprecruit.ucsf.edu/JPF05702
Large language model-based biological age prediction in large-scale populations @NatureMedicine nature.com/articles/s4159…
Agree! You don't build skyscrapers from the sand - an AI developer should also be a data scientist! This is the #1 thing I always try to get my students to understand (since many of them want to work in AI).
For biological data, if you don't have deep expertise in this low value work called data cleaning, u r lacking a fundamental understanding of the idiosyncrasies of the data. Without this knowledge, it is impossible to seriously model data.
🐳One week away from @AAIC2025, I will be in Toronto to meet old and new friends and colleagues! As we (@taviaevans @natvilortejedor ) step down from the Brain Imaging Genetics workgroup as chairs, our last missions are i) Immersive on "Basics of Genetic Analysis…

I'm thrilled to share our new study out in @NatureMedicine! We show that a blood test can estimate how aged or youthful one’s organs are and that these organ ages predict future disease and lifespan. Final paper from my PhD in the @wysscoray lab. 🧵1/12 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4159…
