It was fantastic to reunite with the teammates in the Bay for the 2nd #scverse conference. It’s been an incredible three years together, and I’m beyond excited about what we’ll build next.

Back from #scverse25 and feeling inspired by what @scverse.bsky.social has achieved over the last years. Impressive tools, a vibrant community and we even had a reunion with our two alumni Danila and Max Frank. We also presented our latest findings from the lab 👇

MIFA rests on 4 key pillars: - Clear metadata for annotations - Incentivise the production of annotated datasets - Reduce the number of formats used for annotations - Make data accessible to all Huge thanks to all collaborators—can’t wait to see MIFA in action!

My favorite part of last-year #scverse conference was to finally meet in-person many developers that I only knew from their GitHub username! Submissions and travel grant applications close in 3 days. Find out more and apply at scverse.org/conference2025 @scverse.bsky.social

💰 Travel Grants Available for scverse conference 2025! 💰 Did you know we are offering grants to help anyone in financial need attend our annual conference? 🌍 🧵 #scverse #scverse2025 #SingleCell #Conference #StanfordUniversity #TravelGrant

What a special atmosphere! #ELMI2025 Poster Session 1 on Helix A last night.

The @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social Cell Science Meeting in Chicago just concluded. I had the opportunity to present the latest advancements in spatial omics within the #scverse ecosystem, highlighting our efforts to scale our infrastructure in preparation for the datasets of tomorrow.

If you work with Xenium data segmentation, you may want to check out Segger! Segger provides accurate and scalable segmentation for IIS and FISH-based spatial omics datasets, using a novel heterogenous GNN approach. Authors: elihei.bsky.social and Andrew Moorman.

Spatial transcriptomics holds great promise to understand biological tissue function, but the assignment of transcripts to cells has been a substantial bottleneck. For this reason, Elyas Heidari, a student in my lab and in @steglelab.bsky.social built segger. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚀 We’re very excited to share our latest preprint on OME-Zarr! 🚀 Our report on the 2024 OME-NGFF Workflows Hackathon is a deep dive into the status of OME-Zarr and the great work that happened last November at the BioVisionCenter in Zurich. 🔗 Read the preprint: osf.io/preprints/bi... 🧵 (1/15)

The latest #scverse hackathon on spatial omics has really been a blast! A small example: Day 2 was planned from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm, yet we had people hacking until 9-10 pm! (pics 2-3). Looking forward to the new in-person event!

Recently, we held the first #scverse SpatialData 3-day hackathon in Basel (Switzerland), where we brought together 20 developers from the Python, R, and web communities to work on interoperability, performance, and ergonomics for spatial omics data. Here is what we worked on!

I had the opportunity to present my work at BIOINFO 2024 in Gyeongju, Korea. It was great to meet previous colleagues from Heidelberg, Jeongbin park and Hyobin Jeong, and be welcomed by such a vibrant research community!

In September, I represented the SpatialData team at SCG 2024. I was honored to receive a best poster award; I want to thank my team (in particular Giovanni, Tim, Wouter, Kevin, and Sonja) who made the project possible. In the pic, Danila and @mkoutrouli.bsky.social from @scverse-team.bsky.social.
