Show PostHad an amazing time speaking at AI x BIO in Hinxton! Loved meeting everyone, so much cool work being done - incredible methods truly focused on understanding biology. I guess there's a hashtag? #AIxBIO2026
Show PostI am hosting @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social on Thursday at the @biozentrum.unibas.ch and I can't be more excited
Show PostHappy to share our new preprint on non-coding genetic variation in the human brain and Parkinson's disease. Great team effort with @alexanrna.bsky.social, @juliedeman.bsky.social, Koen Theunis, and all co-authors, supervised by @steinaerts.bsky.social and @jdemeul.bsky.social. Thread below:
