❤️ for 🔬| postdoc in the Amieva Lab @Stanford | pushes correlative chemical imaging to study host-microbe interactions-“The art of teasing apart”| @HFSP fellow
Remember, the only difference between you and a smoothie made out of you is the spatial organization of your molecules. This is why: "Nothing in (Micro)Biology makes sense except in the light of spatial chemistry" Maybe mass spectrometry imaging (#MSI) can help 🧫🔬😉#ISME18
Please RT. I am currently hiring graduate students and postdoc fellows. Details can be found here: postdocs.stanford.edu/prospective/op… My lab is dedicated to developing and integrating imaging, AI, and spatial omics technologies to uncover mechanisms driving disease initiation, progression,…
I agree, #MSI of #organoids as #infection #models could be pretty useful :)
Hey all Laura R. and Ethan published a review covering advances in MALDI #MSImaging for microbe cocultures and systems. Specifically focused on technical advances and mod to sample prep for noted advances sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Transgels enable live imaging of parasite infection in caecal models. Watch larvae invade epithelia in real-time & observe mechanisms like syncytial tunnel formation. Huge congrats to super talented @MoritzHofer_ and thanks to Maria Duque-Correa for the fantastic collaboration!
Bioengineered GI organoids just got an upgrade! Our new Transgel system combines 3D complexity with bilateral accessibility & remarkable observability, enabling advanced studies on tissue dynamics, stem cell niches, and host-pathogen interactions.🔬 👉 nature.com/articles/s4155…
Super excited to share our latest work published today in @NatMetabolism handled by the amazing Alfredo Gimenez-Cassina. We showed western diet driven lung glycogen accumulation is a driver of both early tumorigenesis and progression. rdcu.be/ec3lZ
I am excited to finally be able to share with you our work reporting the first Extracellular Vesicle with a personality! This video does not show a cell, it is a Blebbisome! #CellBiology nature.com/articles/s4155…

🚨 Stop chasing the p-value! Increasing your sample size will always yield a significant result. Even for trivial differences. 🎮 I created a little interactive playground to illustrate this issue: react-graph-gallery.com/example/t-test… Always pair p-values with effect sizes!
Super excited to introduce QUICHE (Quantitative InterCellular Niche Enrichment) - a statistical method that can be used to discover local cellular niches differentially enriched in spatial regions, longitudinal samples, or clinical patient groups :) (1/10) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
📢The Zlitni Lab at UCSF is recruiting postdocs (experimental and computational) to join our team. We study microbial communication & quorum sensing in the human microbiome, and how these processes influence health and disease. To apply shorturl.at/erriN Please share widely
I love this!
Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: ow.ly/5vat50UwZAo
New Insights into the Biocontrol Potential of Beneficial Fungi🌱We’ve unraveled the mystery of how a soil-beneficial fungus combats predatory nematodes. By uncovering this natural mechanism, we open the door to innovative, sustainable agriculture. @J_A_C_S pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Spatial proteomics & transcriptomics are amazing technologies that have transformed how we study diseases. Can we do more? Here's our new preprint that combines both assays into one! (massive thanks to @SizunJ @Yuzhou_Chang Huaying @QinMaBMBL et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
