Building neurotech to study how genes and physiology impact brain function 🧬 🧠 Associate Professor, Scripps Research | Freeman Hrabowski Scholar, HHMIhttps://bsky.app/profile/xinjin.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/xinjin.bsky.social/post/3monrvinjc22kExcited to share Keystone on Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Colorado Jan 2027! ⛷️ with Tom Nowakowski, Stephan Sanders & Joe Zhou 🌟Amazing lineup keynotes from Allyson Berent & Huda Zoghbi! ⏰Abstracts/scholarship due 9/24, Poster abstract due 9/29 Join us: https://keystonesymposia.org/conferences/conference-listing/meeting/J5202719 Jun 2026 16:41 +0000at://did:plc:oq23jboxnkwymnhhawtpobkt/app.bsky.feed.post/3monrvinjc22khttps://bsky.app/profile/xinjin.bsky.social/post/3mj3u4xfho22tForm follows function, or function dictates form? 📢Preprint: we build Perturb-CLEAR, in vivo screen of neuroanatomy! Disease perturbations produce selective morphology-RNA changes that RNA impact alone cannot predict. Was led by the invincible grad student Boli Wu! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.06.716787v109 Apr 2026 22:27 +0000at://did:plc:oq23jboxnkwymnhhawtpobkt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj3u4xfho22thttps://bsky.app/profile/xinjin.bsky.social/post/3mhba2jjzvs2bExcited to introduce @perturb.ai, a company I co-founded to rethink drug discovery. Biology is complex, and disease unfolds across genes, cell types, and tissues. We’re powering AI with the causal logic of human genetics www.perturb.ai/news [contains quote post or other embedded content]17 Mar 2026 14:53 +0000at://did:plc:oq23jboxnkwymnhhawtpobkt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhba2jjzvs2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/xinjin.bsky.social/post/3mhb2z57gjc2cExcited to share: enhanced capture in vivo multiome Perturb-seq! Worried about low gRNA recovery and wasting sequencing on cells that can’t assign a perturbation? We engineered gRNA transcripts to stay in the nucleus, enabling efficient multiomic Perturb-seq! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.15.711739v117 Mar 2026 13:23 +0000at://did:plc:oq23jboxnkwymnhhawtpobkt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhb2z57gjc2chttps://bsky.app/profile/xinjin.bsky.social/post/3me4xplocmk2dIt was such an amazing visit at Utah Neuroscience! I learn from such a diverse crowd of neuroscientists doing super cutting edge works in many fields - and their trainees who are engaging and thoughtful. Campus view is unbelievable! Thank you @jasonsynaptic.bsky.social for having me!
