)! We combined a new 4M cell mouse whole embryo scATAC-seq atlas (E10-P0), millions of 'evolutionarily coherent' orthologs from 241 mammalian genomes (Zoonomia), and the CREsted CNN framework (@steinaerts.bsky.social).
Stoked to announce that I’m starting a lab as an Assistant Professor in the School of Biomedical Engineering and Centre for Brain Health at UBC!

Recruiting at all levels - please share the word!
Cheers and happy long weekend all!
So honored to have received this award! Thank you to the Experiement Foundation and @navigation.org
Check out our new protocol paper on molecular recording of transcriptional events in genomic DNA!
Super fun pulling this together with @jennynathans.bsky.social @chenomics.bsky.social and @jshendure.bsky.social
We have significantly improved the protocol for recording CRE activities and orders with ENGRAM. We also designed new plasmids for easier cloning. Great work with @jennynathans.bsky.social, @troymcdiarmid.bsky.social and @jshendure.bsky.social . Happy recording!!
Super happy to share our protocol for ENGRAM is out in Nature Protocols! This was fun to write with @chenomics.bsky.social @troymcdiarmid.bsky.social @jshendure.bsky.social. In it we describe how to record CRE identity, activity, and order in mammalian cells.
The amazing @shawnfayer.bsky.social has developed a saturation genome editing method in iPSCs enabling MAVEs in differentiated cell types and diploid contexts. Please check it out!
And, for some lucky department, Shawn is on the faculty job market!

Stoked to share our latest work entitled: “Large-scale discovery of neural enhancers for cis-regulation therapies”

This is an enormous team effort that I had the honour of spearheading with Nick Page and Florence Chardon.

Thrilled to share I’ve started my lab at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine! We focus on mapping cellular trajectories & TF networks in development and Mendelian disorders, exploring new therapies. Join us—postdocs, grads, and scientists welcome! sites.dartmouth.edu/qiulab/
Super excited about first Shendure/Baker Lab collaboration & preprint on a multiplex sequencing-based strategy for screening de novo proteome editors in mammalian cells. Kudos to the brilliant Chase Suiter (not here) & @greenahn.bsky.social on the work! Preprint here:

New paper from my lab and @jshendure.bsky.social lab! Led by the brilliant @zukailiu.bsky.social and @cxqiu.bsky.social. We tackled how anterior and posterior progenitor cells cooperate to self-organize into an embryonic structure (termed AP-gastruloid). (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Check out our new paper by postdoc Debasish Paul, out now in @Nature.com. Cells need a boost of energy to jumpstart the cell cycle, but how can this happen while the APC/C is inhibiting glycolysis? We found cells solve this paradox through a highly dynamic mechanism.
