🚀Thrilled to announce our new Tocky-CRISPR-Deep Learning paper!
✅ConvNet + Grad-CAM decodes fluorescent timer (Tocky) data
✅Enables single-cell identification of enhancer-dependent Foxp3 transcription dynamics
nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
🔥A step toward data-driven immunology!

We’ve also released the mCanonicalTockySeq R package! 📦💻
It reconstructs temporally resolved developmental state spaces by integrating Tocky signalling history into scRNA-seq workflows.

Delighted to share our new bioRxiv preprint:
biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
We present mCanonicalTockySeq, which uses the Nr4a3-Tocky system to anchor single-cell transcriptomes in experimental time, allowing resolution of time-dependent thymic development in both mice and humans.

We present a new approach to resolve T cell temporal states at single-cell resolution in cancer immunotherapy.
My thanks to all co-authors and collaborators.

I am pleased to share the release of CanonicalTockySeq: Canonical Tocky Analysis for Temporal Gradient on a Transcriptomic Manifold.
This package provides tools for analysing temporal gradients on transcriptomic manifolds within the Tocky framework.

Honoured that our T-cell immunotherapy research is featured in The Telegraph via Cancer Research UK. Using Tocky, we reveal the behaviour of therapy-responsive and anti-cancer T cells, aiming to further improve immunotherapy approaches to melanoma.

🚀 Thrilled to share our new paper using Deep Learning and Tocky!
nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
👉 We build on our original Tocky method by integrating CRISPR & deep learning to decode transcriptional dynamics.
🔥 7 years of work - toward data-driven immunology!

🚀 New paper out!
Our ConvNet + Grad-CAM approach decodes Fluorescent Timer (Tocky) data at single-cell resolution.
Using Foxp3 Tocky, we reveal CNS2-controlled and developmental transcriptional dynamics.
Built on 7 years of work with AI and CRISPR!

Bored of black-box UMAP and clustering in #Cytometry?
GatingTree skips such methods, directly analyses high-dimensional data, builds reproducible tree paths across markers, and reveals group-specific effects.
No dimensionality reduction, just interpretable gates. 🌳

🚀 Our next-generation cytometry tool GatingTree now published in #CytometryPartA!
🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
GatingTree enables systematic analysis of high-dimensional flow cytometry data, without relying on dimensionality reduction. 💻
