We also introduced a new award for broader evaluation:
🏆 Generalist Prize: Team @altos_labs ranked highest across 7 metrics. They showed the most reliable generalization—robust performance across diverse criteria vs. optimization for a single score.

Excited to share our first preprint from the lab! We developed an image-based pooled screen to uncover regulators of HP1 condensates and discovered a link with intronic RNA and RNA processing. shttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.21.676939v1

👏 Congrats to all authors, especially Matthew, Shaopu & Chris! and a huge thanks to @genophoria for the collaboration

Thrilled to share our first lamellae made here at St. Jude! Great work by Martin, Silvija and Robert!
I am very happy to be hosting @LisaRacki of Scripps at the UCSF iMicro seminar today. Wonderful science, and on such a fateful day, great reminder of the amazing beautiful things humans are capable of.
new from the lab.
