Out today!! This impressive & highly cooperative @NatureGenet publication by @SFB1453_NephGen PIs #AnnaKoettgen, Pascal Schlosser, @MatthiasWuttke, Michael Koettgen, Miriam Schmidts, @SchultUlla, Peggy Sekula, and many more 👏🥳nature.com/articles/s4158…

We got the funding for our CRC Small Data!!! This means 31 open doctoral researcher positions for pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence and modeling, starting on Oct 1st, 2023, thanks to the German Research Foundation. smalldata-initiative.de

Many exciting things – and intense coding – at the scverse hackathon this week hosted by @OliverStegle and @saezlab in Heidelberg! Our focus was on interoperability across languages and knowledgebases. Read on to see what we made! 1/n

We are thrilled to announce the next YSLS to announce @jurodemann talk on April 18 at 4pm. ➡️Registration: rebrand.ly/ysls-regist Feel free to register and apply for your own talk. #Statistics #stats #biometrics #YoungScientist

Have you considered applying to our current open call for PhD positions but are unsure if it is for you? Learn more about our training concept and research by three short films: meinbio.uni-freiburg.de/what-is-meinbio P.S.: one week left to apply!

Do not miss our Young Statisticians Session at CEN2023! Wether you'd like to apply yourself or to see some well selected young statisticians in action⭐️Open for applications till March 17. Full details below and see you in Basel🇨🇭 #Statistics #Biometrics #YoungScientist

#PhD positions open! Structured PhD program with combined bioinformatics / wet laboratory method training, active network for discussion and advice. Research on transcriptional regulation using -omics and other methods. More info here: meinbio.uni-freiburg.de/application

Reminder: Our 3rd online BMS-ANed Biostatistics Seminar is on Thursday November, 24th at 16pm with @marenhackenberg presenting: "From dynamic modelling of disease trajectories to single-cell omics: state-of-the-art methods development in Julia" Link: vvsor.nl/biometrics/eve…

We are back from the summer break 🌞 and delighted to announce Lasse Fischer's talk on October 25 at 4pm. ➡️Registration: rebrand.ly/ysls-regist Feel free to register and apply for your own talk. #Statistics #stats #biometrics #YoungScientist

This may revolutionize data science: we introduce TabPFN, a new tabular data classification method that takes 1 second & yields SOTA performance (better than hyperparameter-optimized gradient boosting in 1h). Current limits: up to 1k data points, 100 features, 10 classes. 🧵1/6

@onur_danaci @drpeterrohde @RichCompNeuro @JuliaLanguage All these packages are pure Julia! (check out their GitHub repos, e.g., for Flux.jl:) github.com/FluxML/Flux.jl

@drpeterrohde @RichCompNeuro @JuliaLanguage Do computational packages on Julia like zygote, iTensor, flux etc run on Julia? Or are they just wrappers on low level languages (c++, fortran, etc) as in Python?

I think I just successfully translated some messy C++ code into clean Python code in an afternoon! The problem: I'm not 100% sure if it's working since the code is running about 10x slower in Python🤦‍♂️ Is this just the expected tradeoff for the ease/readability of Python?

Congratulations!!! 🎉 #NephGen Member Pascal Schlosser received this year's Bernd-Sterzel-Award at #DGfN22 #Nephrologie @dgfn_ev

@adamgayoso It's slower than the Jax version, actually. I've written it mainly to be able to use the scvi model in Julia, it's not really optimized for speed yet -- I'm still working on that :)

I do wonder how this would compare in terms of runtime to our Jax based implementation docs.scvi-tools.org/en/stable/api/…

scvi -- but written in Julia... So cool to see! github.com/maren-ha/scVI.…

Another exciting talk is coming up: @zauggj will explain to us and interested guests her research on "Cell-type specific regulatory networks to investigate disease mechanisms" on July 07. This will be our first hybrid talk (only a bit nervous...)

We are happy to announce the next Young Statisticians #LectureSeries. On July 6 Marléne Baumeister will present her research. ➡️Registration: rebrand.ly/ysls-regist Feel free to register and apply for your own talk. #Statistics #stats #biometrics #YoungScientist

We're looking forward to @DanielFridljand's talk about "Better multiple Testing: Using multivariate co-data for hypotheses" this Wednesday June 1st at 4pm. And it's still enough time to register! ➡️rebrand.ly/ysls-regist #YoungScientist #Statistics

Always happy to fund conference visits for our PhD researchers. Super happy when they return with a prize - congratulations to Ipek Akol for her poster prize at the ISDN conference for her work on the analyses of FOXG1 functions on epigenetic processes in the hippocampus.

We are looking forward to the talk of @jurodemann about "Prior-mean-RObust Bayesian Optimization (PROBO)" next Wednesday May 4 and we hope you are too. ➡️If you did not register yet feel free to do so: rebrand.ly/ysls-regist #YoungScientist #stats
