Excited to be at #ASHG2025 in Boston next week. On Thursday, I will be presenting a poster (1007T) on our latest work on Personalised sequence to expression modelling. Looking forward to meeting new folks and reconnecting with old friends and colleagues.

Don’t miss Manu’s poster on DeepGenoXcan, our new personalized and interpretable sequence-to-expression model, at #ASHG2025!

📅 October 16, 2:30pm-4:30pm
📍 Poster 1007T

Do you want to link genomic variants to functional gene expression - cell by cell?
SDR-seq makes it possible; an experimental method connecting coding and non-coding variants to expression in single cells.
Proud to have contributed a custom FASTQ-processing tool to this great collaborative project.

Grateful to have been included in this interesting and sure to be very impactful work!

We're hiring!

Want use deep learning to discover genetic disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets? Like the sound of applying Bayesian deep learning, DNA language models and federated learning to this exciting problem? Then this position in our group is for you!

An insightful thread for the second study by the one and only @manusaraswat.bsky.social that spearheaded this superstar team effort together with @lauraruedag.bsky.social and Elisa Heinzelmann in the labs of @oliverstegle.bsky.social and me:

How does tumour heterogeneity arise? How can we predict cancer cell plasticity? In 2 new studies, we trace #glioblastoma heterogeneity to a spatial cancer cell trajectory w. multimodal cell atlassing bit.ly/4mkrWgs & predict plasticity w. snRNA/ATAC+deep learning bit.ly/3FbI6Ic 🧵

🧠 Excited to share my main PhD project! We mapped the regulatory rules governing Glioblastoma plasticity using single-cell multi-omics and deep learning. This work is part of a two-paper series with @bayraktarlab.bsky.social @oliverstegle.bsky.social and @moritzmall.bsky.social, Preprint at end🧵👇

The next selection round for the DKFZ International PhD Program has started. Please consider applying to this really excellent program! I'll be proposing projects, as will many other outstanding PIs.

1/ New preprint! 🍳

@elihei.bsky.social and our team at @embl.org , @dkfz.bsky.social, and @mskcancercenter.bsky.social built #segger - a fast, accurate cell segmentation tool for spatial transcriptomics that assigns transcripts to their cell origins!

Cell2fate learns which genes have co-regulated transcription rates => spatially mapping velocity modules & improved robustness. Bayesian modelling => easier to add biological realism.

Exciting collab with Alexander Aivasidis in Bayraktar & @steglelab.bsky.social

Exciting job opportunity!👇
A great chance to work on an application of machine learning in human genetics which will make an impact on our understanding of disease and has real potential for future translation to the clinic.
