Our Nature Biotech paper hit 225K+ accesses in 3 months! 🤩 7 first authors from computer science, biology & chemistry prove that great science is teamwork. We combined AI & imaging to visualize single cells across whole organisms. Team synergy > individual brilliance. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We build some of the most advanced AI for biomedical research, leveraging unique data and algorithms to drive precision medicine at scale. People ask if AI will replace humans. It isn’t about idea generation—it’s about selecting and implementing the right ideas with minimal effort & maximum impact.

Germany’s Science Minister @cem_oezdemir is spot on—we must welcome top scientific talent, especially as the US’s political attitude toward scientists shifts. Many exciting AI & biotech roles opening soon at our biotech @deeppiction.bsky.social. @danyalbayaz.bsky.social www.n-tv.de/politik/Grue...

Want to know what we do at our startup Deep Piction? Check out our paper with Denali Therapeutics. Using our proprietary clearing & imaging technologies, we mapped the full targeting profile of brain-penetrating transport vehicles (ATVs) in whole mouse bodies and monkey brains. go.nature.com/3Xifva2

As of today, the main finding of my PhD is published in the European Journal for Neuroscience! 🥳🥳 Together with Gesine Müller, we looked at hemispheric asymmetries in the mouse auditory cortex. We find layer, sex, and hemispheric differences: doi.org/10.1111/ejn.... 🧵

Congratulations to the @erturklab.bsky.social lab for another big paper on nanoparticles, with some nice manual ground-truth segmentation created in syGlass. Some pretty nice movies in supplemental materials, too! (Video speed set to 2X to accommodate Bluesky's 1 min limit)

Very excited that this study led by @erturklab.bsky.social is finally out. Among deep insight into in vivo distribution of LNP and AAV (together with some unexpected effects), it shows how DNA origami nanoparticles distribute in organisms and can be targeted to cells. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Twitter: LNP/mRNA therapeutics and AAV-based approaches require cell-level precision to achieve success without significant toxicity to other cells. To enable this, we developed SCP-Nano: an AI and tissue-clearing-based technology for precision nanotechnology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper from our lab (@erturklab.bsky.social) We show how tissue clearing, light sheet microscopy, and AI-based image analysis can be combined to determine the biodistribution and drug delivery efficiency of nanocarriers throughout entire mouse bodies with single-cell resolution.

The denialists can keep trying, but the science will keep coming. I know it is scary, but we won't stop talking about it. As @erturklab.bsky.social said, this is not just an individual health issue – it is a societal challenge. www.cell.com/cell-host-mi... #NeuroCovid #LongCovid
