Welcome Irene Chang to IICD! Irene is a PhD student in Statistics, advised by @Genevera_Allen (@zuckermanbrain). Her research focuses on simplifying manifold learning methods with efficient neural networks for better interpretability and results on high-dimensional data.


How do sex hormones influence organ development? ADIs Mijo Simunovic, @ElhamAzizi, and @JoseLMcFaline are searching for the answers by developing an in-vitro platform that combines stem cell models, genome editing, and machine learning. #FrontierScience alleninstitute.org/division/front…
Extremely proud of @justjhong and @khushipde for bringing this innovation to life! #AMICI🤝redefines cell–cell interaction inference from #spatial #transcriptomics - going beyond static proximity to capture who talks to whom, at what distance, and with what downstream impact!
1/ I’m excited to share recent work on inferring cell-cell interactions using attention by @justjhong and me, supervised by @elhamazizi. Open the thread 🧵for a brief tweetorial of our method. bioRxiv link: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Columbia welcomed 90 undergrads from around the country for GROW 2025, a conference supporting students in the mathematical sciences! Proud to sponsor this inspiring event for a second year with our Columbia partners. #GROW2025 Read more: bit.ly/4nnAIKO


This #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth, Dr. Aaron Viny (@TheDoctorIsVin) is shining a light on the lifesaving role of transplants in treating blood cancers and addressing some of the most persistent myths surrounding donation in an article by @columbiacancer. cancer.columbia.edu/news/breaking-…
Cheers to a great IICD Welcome Back Happy Hour! Always a joy to reconnect and celebrate our community. Looking forward to the next one! 🥂#IICDCommunity


We’re excited to welcome YoonHaeng Hur, Postdoc in Statistics and @ZuckermanBrain, to the IICD community! In @Genevera_Allen group, YoonHaeng develops mathematical and statistical foundations for #datascience, focusing on #optimaltransport and cellular dynamics.
