Last week we published a landmark paper in Nature describing the production of the world's leading vaccine adjuvant, QS-21, in yeast. This work will pave the way for affordable, readily available, effective vaccine adjuvants for the world.

Our review on advances in the management of Early-Stage Triple-Negative Breast Cancer #bcsm @UNC_Lineberger @prarthnavb @PSpanheimer @brunklab
Happy to share our review article on advances in early stage triple negative breast cancer @IJMS_MDPI. A wonderful collaboration with my @ASCO mentor extraordinaire @YAbdouMD and colleagues. #bcsm #tnbc bit.ly/44iSB2N

Finished "Bacteriophage T4 Infection" this morning. The thin white line at left, which folds up and down 10 times, depicts the length of the T4 genome. After I add a few finishing touches and make sure I haven't forgotten anything, I'll put the full-size file @buildmodels.

Come work with us! Want to study how cancer cells regulate genes and how that determines response to therapy? Want to use that to predict which patients will respond to specific therapies and empirically determine personalized treatment regimens? @UNC_Lineberger @UNCSurgery
Are you a skilled computational scientist with background in single cell & NGS pipelines? Join our team! @brunklab and @PSpanheimer Get involved on projects where precision medicine meets genome science! 90-100K, great benefits, remote possible: unc.peopleadmin.com/postings…

Fantastic talk on ML for genomic sequences by @jun90cheng At #CHIL23; Lots of great questions about when LLMs will adapt to non-NLP data. Another option is to add additional structure during PT, as @marinkazitnik, I, & others explore in the paper below. nature.com/articles/s42256-0…

"...students can have new opportunities to decide whether it is something they enjoy and that motivates them. We have numerous examples of students who loved this experience, and that's what makes it all worthwhile", says Dr. Elizabeth Brunk @brunklab. tinyurl.com/47u86as8

What are the best illustrative mathematical models in biology that should become canonical? In physics we have e.g. simple harmonic oscillator, Ising model, particle in a box etc. What in Bio? Lotka-Volterra ✅ Wright-Fisher ✅ , Represssilator❓what else?

As a group working on #scRNA-seq and #snRNA-seq analysis, we’ve noticed that certain popular and publicly-available datasets, e.g. the PBMC datasets from 10x Genomics, are used repeatedly for tutorials, method development, etc. and often reprocessed. 1/🧵
