Okay, our little capybara is ridiculously cute 😂 Give CapyBio a follow for more on cell identity and making sense of your single-cell data. And capybaras, obviously.
Happy spooky season! 👻🎃 Nothing is scarier than thinking you’ve generated the right cells… only to discover they’re not what you expected. 🧬 How confident are you that your cells are really what you think they are? 👀 #TrickOrTreat #CellIdentity #SingleCellRNAseq

Hello, X! 👋 We’re CapyBio. 🧬 We’re building the GPS for cell engineering. Our technology helps measure what your cells are and predict how to move them toward a target fate. Better data. Better cells. Better outcomes. Follow along!

A central limitation of cellular barcoding analyses has been the loss of native spatial context. With @insitubiology, we developed an adaptable platform for multiclonal lineage analysis that links clonal history to spatially resolved gene expression. cell.com/cell-stem-cell/full…

See you for my next shift in 2028 @Fusion_Conf 😉Thank you for the fantastic conference, as always! #SingleCellTech
The newest member of the Fusion team…@morris_lab ! We couldn’t resist a photo with our wonderful conference chair, who’s matching the Fusion attire perfectly today 💜 Day 3 is in full swing, with many more talks, networking and our gala dinner to come 🇲🇽 #SingleCellTech

New “discrete state” model of hematopoiesis published in Nature Immunology. rdcu.be/eL8oO We propose a hierarchical model of hematopoiesis where stable “discrete states” serve as key regulatory nodes. With @nsalomonis @morris_lab @BioLegend @CytekBio @NIH @NIDDKgov and tweetless NHLBI and Harinder Singh.

Morris Lab vs @FD_Camargo Lab ⚽️ match for the glory of CellTag vs LARRY. This one was a 'friendly'… next time, reagents are at stake.

Saddened to hear of John Gurdon’s passing. A brilliant scientist, generous mentor, and endlessly curious. When he examined my PhD viva in 2006, he’d just come from doing experiments at his bench - at 73. He shaped so many careers, including mine: cam.ac.uk/research/news/nobe…

How I’ll always remember him... full of humour, curiosity, and kindness. Cambridge party, many years ago.

Thank you @IdoAmitLab, @AlejoFraticelli , @leilaperie for putting such a fantastic conference together! Can't wait for the next #EMBO Lineage Tracing Workshop
What an incredible #LineageTracing meeting! Huge thanks to all participants and speakers for creating such an inspiring environment. Looking forward to seeing you next year in San Sebastián- more details coming soon!

Skin fat plays by its own rules. We trace lineages (CellTagging), classify cell identity (Capybara), and model fate decisions (CellOracle) in our new Cell Stem Cell paper. It’s not a linear path. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.stem.2025.…

We identify a previously unrecognized immature preadipocyte population and show that Sox9 links proliferation with fate commitment. Cross-depot transplants reveal how both niche and intrinsic identity shape adipogenesis.

Time to mark our calendars moving for our 3rd "Probing Human Disease using Single-Cell Technologies" @Fusion_Conf taking place March 1-4, 2026 in beautiful Playa Mujeres, Mexico!! Our first 15 speakers are already on board and Early Bird and Talk submissions on Sept 3rd! Dont miss it! Organized by @satijalab @morris_lab and yours truly! #singlecell #cancer #epigenetics
Amy is looking forward to reuniting with familar faces, and welcoming new ones to the upcoming Single-Cell Technologies conference next year! A reminder that this meeting has sold out BOTH times, so do not delay getting registered and joining @iannisaifantis1 @satijalab and @morris_lab in Mexico 🇲🇽 👉 bit.ly/4dePBKZ

Absolutely thrilled to share with you the final version of EPIclone, out now (open access) in @Nature. This has been an amazing collaboration with the lab of Lars Velten (@larsplus) at @CRGenomica nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
