Tired, happy, and grateful. 🙏 The first New England Computational Biology Symposium is a wrap! Such a joy to see this vibrant community join us, with so many students and trainees. Thanks to everyone who made it possible. Stay tuned for next year! #NECB2026 @NewEngCompBio
So excited for today! 🎉 We open the first New England Computational Biology Symposium at Microsoft Research New England. By chance, it's also 10 years to the day since I started my lab. Perfect way to celebrate this milestone! newenglandcompbio.org #NECB2026 @NewEngCompBio

Honored to receive a Best Talk Award at @NewEngCompBio 2026, held at @MSFTResearch, for my selected talk on ImageFlowNet. A big thank you to my advisor @KrishnaswamyLab and collaborators for making this work possible, and to the conference organizers for this recognition.

Excited to see @NewEngCompBio come to life tomorrow after months of development by organizers @lucapinello @KevinKaichuang and Predrag (Pedja) Radivojac and steering committee!!! ----From our lab tomorrow @KeXU0828 will be presenting new unpublished work GeoSinkhorn Flow! We turn static phenoscapes (produced by PhenoGS) into dynamic trajectories of conditional perturbation responses. Combining heat-diffusion geometry with conditional flow matching, our model predicts how populations move between states, captures intermediate progression, and generalizes to held-out perturbations. Collaboration by many labs including @mrguywolf @christophertape!
