The last MOPITAS autumn school in Garching was a lot of fun, great participants and great instructors. I'm really looking forward to join this second installment in Copenhagen. Don't miss the deadline and sign up if your interested in taking your spatial data analysis to the next level. Vi ses i DK!

I really enjoyed our DyHealthNet.ai workshop in Erlangen this week. It was especially amazing to meet our IHEC collaborator @guillaumebourque.bsky.social in person again after many years!

DyHealthNet

DyHealthNet is a DFG-funded research project run by FAU (Biomedical Network Science Lab), TUM (Big Data in Biomedicine Group), Eurac (Institute for Biomedicine), and UNIBZ (Database Systems Group).

On Wednesday, @rnakato.bsky.social gave an excellent talk in our new @tum.de Life Science Talks series: www.ls.tum.de/en/ls/public.... It was nice to see so many people join to hear about the role of multi-omics data in elucidating gene-regulatory mechanisms. Well done @rnakato.bsky.social

One of our students, EliasAlbrecht, went the extra mile in his project and created an educational 3D-printed model of a nucleosome. We're stunned by the level of detail and excited to use this in our lectures and public events. The model is open to the community makerworld.com/en/models/20...

🧬🖥️Drug response prediction is a machine learning challenge with immense potential for precision medicine. Our latest preprint introduces DrEval, a comprehensive benchmarking framework to evaluate state-of-the-art methods, uncover widespread issues, and guide the development of more robust models.

Judith Bernett@judith-bernett.bsky.social · last yr.

🧬🖥️So excited to show you the outcome of @pascivers.bsky.social and my latest project: "From Hype to Health Check: Critical Evaluation of Drug Response Prediction Models with DrEval" doi.org/10.1101/2025.05.26.655288, published with M. Picciani, M. Wilhelm, K. Baum & @itisalist.bsky.social. 🧵1/10

Overview of the DrEval framework. Via input options, implemented state-of-the-art models can be compared against baselines of varying complexity. We address obstacles to progress in the field at each point in our pipeline: Our framework is available on PyPI and nf-core and we follow FAIReR standards for optimal reproducibility. DrEval is easily extendable as demonstrated here with a pseudocode implementation of a proteomics-based random forest. Custom viability data can be preprocessed with CurveCurator, leading to more consistent data and metrics. DrEval supports five widely used datasets with application-aware train/test splits that enable detecting weak generalization. Models are free to use provided or custom cell line– and drug features. The pipeline supports randomization-based ablation studies and performs robust hyperparameter tuning for all models. Evaluation is conducted using meaningful, bias-resistant metrics to avoid inflated results from artifacts such as Simpson’s paradox. All results are compiled into an interactive HTML report.
