I'm a scientist at Stanford. My interests include cellular aging, (spatial) transcriptomics technologies, oligodendroglia, telomeres and killifish.
I am more and more wondering whether we should find a way to make the years we spend on managing little people with complex emotions and desires count towards management training. Thoughts? ‘Motherhood Should Come With a Warning Label’ nytimes.com/2025/06/25/opi… via @NYTOpinion
☣️🐀 Pesticide exposure in rats changes epigenetic signatures in different brain regions! Latest paper from our fruitful collaboration with Emily Rocha and Tim Greenamyre, linking epigenetic signatures of exposure to toxicants to Parkinson's disease.: nature.com/articles/s4153…
Two weeks to go to support the MS society. Thank you for your support so far! Please see more details below: facebook.com/809819234/post…?
#GLIA2025 is in full swing! We’re halfway through an exciting week full of energy, ideas, and exchange. Highlights so far: 🎓 Stipend Award Session 🧠 Poster Sessions 🤝 Welcome Reception Let’s keep the momentum going! #GliologistsTogether
Excited 2 be in Marseille for our symposium on understanding human oligodendroglia: a lifespan perspective at #GLIA2025. Join the brilliant @GoCasteloBranco, Sarah Jäkel, Nina Kazakou, Sunniva Bøstrand and myself. We are presenting exciting human data generated with @10xGenomics.

The California Academy of Sciences is in a tight spot. We had a membership with them last year and liked the earthquake room, the planetarium, aquarium and more. Donations that are made until the EOD today will be tripled... give.calacademy.org/campaign/69466…
Running my first SF Half Marathon next month feels both thrilling and terrifying – but I'm doing it for a cause close to my heart: multiple sclerosis research. facebook.com/donate/1725321…
Our Single Cell Genomics Day - highlighting our favorite new sc/spatial methods - starts Friday at 10AM ET! The most common question we get: is this open to anyone? Yes! Talks are free and live-streamed (no registration required) on Youtube and satijalab.org/scgd
Hmm. There are two errors in this, and also the new 15% limit is way too low. And finally this is an unintentional call for communism. (1) First error. This charge isn’t for “overhead”. It does include overhead, but it also includes “General & Administrative” costs. For…
Can you believe that universities with tens of billions in endowments were siphoning off 60% of research award money for “overhead”? What a ripoff!
Our new pipeline is out! In this work we detail an ex vivo versatile platform for assessing myelin dynamics of hiPSC oligodendroglia. 🔗 Check it out @STARProtocols: doi.org/10.1016/j.xpro… Huge thanks to my mentor @ErinMGibson and collaborators @LidaZoupi and @AnnaWilliamsLab!
Virtual cell models have the potential to transform biological research. Today @ChanZuckerberg released an initial set of models, including scGenePT and SubCell, designed to be easy to run and build upon. This is a really exciting time in biology. czi.co/4g1jTSa
I’m excited to share SubCell–a suite of vision #ML models for #microscopy to capture single-cell biology. 🌟SubCell provides deep, image-driven representations of cellular architecture across biological contexts & datasets. bit.ly/4f2LTU8 @ProteinAtlas @cziscience
Spatial Omics enthusiasts!! Spatial Proteomics is the Method of the Year 2024 🤩🤩🤩 nature.com/nmeth/volumes/…
Our December issue, featuring a Focus on Single Cell Genomics, is now live! nature.com/neuro/volumes/…
nature.com/immersive/d428… It is impressive how much the HCA has grown over the last few years, just in time for a new era of data analysis. I am happy that we contributed a snippet. @AnnaWilliamsLab @GoCasteloBranco @GioeleLaManno @CataVallejosM @JekyllSarah et al.!
Glad to announce a new edition of our popular, free, hands-on @Stanford course on making, probing and manipulating neural #assembloids and #organoids Organized by an amazing trio in the lab: @RebeccaJLevyMD @FreddyMValencia and Merve Avar Deadline in mid-December Supported…
A sign that I now feel more at home in the US (after 1.5 years) is that I am changing "ageing" to "aging" in all my writing... A big step! The spell check still has to catch up!
Dear #Glia lovers and workers, today is the last day to apply for the First Italian Glia Network Symposium that will be held next November 18. Hurry up! italianglianetwork.com/newsupdates
