Just picked up the beautiful offprint of our Patho-DBiT paper that was on the cover of @CellCellPress, highlighting its power to spatially explore molecular biology in human FFPE tissues 🤩🤩 . Congratulations to my phenomenal postdoc @Zhiliang_Bai and all amazing collaborators!!
Shuozhen gave a terrific PhD defense! 🎓 year today! From early curiosity to field-shaping insights, she’s poured heart and brilliance into science. Our lab’s sunshine ☀️— always inspiring and uniting us. So proud of you, and your can’t wait to see you shine even brighter! 👏👏
Just wrapped up a short but incredibly stimulating 1.5-day visit to the National University of Singapore. Grateful for the inspiring conversations and excited about the bold vision NUS is shaping around healthy longevity and potentially precision health for all 👏👏
🤩 Gonçalo and I hanging out at the Marseille harbor, discussing neuroscience under the blazing sun 🌞
Great to catch up with @RongFan8 in Marseille, where we both end up for two completely unrelated conferences!
Marseille 🇫🇷 — Came for the Mediterranean Sea, but mainly in the beautiful mountains 😀. Truly honored to give back-to-back keynotes with spatial transcriptomics pioneer Prof. Joakim Lundeberg. Amazing student energy! Also visited CIML, almost turning 50 years! 🔬✨ impressive!!!

DNA methylome goes spatial!!! Another game-changing leap for spatial epigenomics. Huge congrats to Yanxiang for this incredible milestone! 👏👏👏
DNA methylation goes spatial! Introducing Spatial-DMT: a technology that co-profiles DNA methylation and transcriptome in the same tissue section. A fantastic collaboration with @zhouwanding lab. Kudos to Chin Nien Lee @ChinNLee2021 and Hongxiang Fu! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Congratulations @Savanaplastic and @ZenggangPan on leading our team and getting the word out on the dynamics of lymphomatous effusions in large B-cell lymphomas #hemepath pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40581918/
Marseille from above, blue on blue, calm and peace, a quiet thrill in the sky 🌤️🌊🇫🇷
“Immunometabolism Across Scales: From Cells to Systems to Healthspan” will be held Jan. 11-14, 2026 in Vancouver BC. Scientific organizers include @VishwaDeepDixi1 of @YaleMed. They meeting will explore the critical junction of metabolic & immune processes bit.ly/4nAdYYA
For those wondering about the NIH/NSF budgets...that is still a fight in congress, so contact your Reps!
The "Big Beautiful Bill" isn’t the federal budget—it’s a reconciliation bill focused on tax cuts. The real FY26 funding decisions for NIH, NSF, and more are happening now in Congress. ascb.org/science-policy…
