I'm also excited to share the first application of MeRN to study metabolic regulation in mouse embryos (including mutants)! Nick Dias of the Smith Lab led this work with me, in collaboration with the @jswlab. Now on bioRxiv! 🧵 1/

Thrilled to share that our work reconstructing a cell fate map of the mouse embryo is out now in @CellCellPress! doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2026.…
🍾 Huge congratulations to @LukeKoblan @WilliamNColgan and many thanks to our wonderful collaborators Zachary Smith @YaleMed and MPIMG, @nir_yosef1 @WeizmannScience, @ZhuangLab @HarvardCCB, and Kyle Loh @Stanford

This has been an incredible, collaborative effort co-led with @WilliamNColgan in the @JswLab and with Zach Smith’s group at Yale and the @maxplanckpress and his amazing group members @CAbiologist , Jason Hou, and Minming Wang and our other wonderful collaborators.

A fantastic collaboration with @LukeKoblan! Excited to see what the developmental biology community can learn from these data. Check out our CELLxLINEAGE explorer: mela.wi.mit.edu/explore/

A discovery of a novel resilience factor from a genome-scale ORF screen. Led by @Y_Ryan_Lu in the lab - five+ years in the making.
1/ Excited to share our new preprint from a joint collaboration between @JswLab + @Bruce_Ksander!
Aging is marked by a progressive loss of resilience to stress. Can we systematically search the human ORFome for genes that make vulnerable cells more resilient?
Performing such a genome-scale ORF screen led us to NKX2-5—a heart transcription factor we engineered to restore vision, and improve health in aged mice.
A breakdown🧵

We’re hiring a Technical Assistant I/II in the Weissman Lab @WhiteheadInst to work on in vivo functional genomics with multimodal readouts.
Our technicians have had incredible success going on to PhD & MD/PhD programs. Apply or send great candidates our way!
Excited to share our new preprint led by
@YiChenNeumann with incredible collaborators @labs_mann, @BenGewurz, @StephenE92884, and @hopfnerlab
to characterize the function of thousands of viral microproteins from human-infecting viruses! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Excited to share my PhD work, now on @bioRxiv! 🎓🦠Viruses are packed with small ORFs with unknown function. At @JswLab w/ collaborators, we built a pan-viral microprotein atlas that uncovered the oncogenic activity of BNLF2b, an EBV gene linked to cancer.

Impressive work from @JShendure & co. reconstructing an E13.5 lineage tree with DNA Typewriter. A great complement to our PEtracer lineage atlas spanning E7.5-E10.0 (mela.wi.mit.edu). Excited to see what an integrated analysis of these datasets reveals!
Exciting work led by @AniaPuszynska !
Excited to see our work now published science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…!
Lysosomal dysfunction has long been considered a hallmark of aging, but we still know remarkably little about what actually changes inside lysosomes as organisms grow old. Using rapid lysosome isolation and metabolomics, we built the first atlas of lysosomal aging across tissues.

📣 new preprint multimodal atlas. Imaging + scRNA, 57M cells. 🧬🔬
Cells are complex dynamical systems — but most ways we measure them destroy them. We asked: how does live imaging compare to scRNA-seq, the field’s gold std?
The answer surprised us 🧵

What is the global structure of cell-state space—and how do perturbations drive transitions within it?
Excited to share our new preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…), a work in collaboration with @JswLab.

A few years in the making in the @JswLab with @WilliamNColgan, Zack Smith, and the rest of our fantastic team: Comprehensive Lineage Tracing Maps the Landscape of Cell Fate Decisions in Mouse Embryogenesis. Excited to hear everyone's thoughts!
Excited to share a new preprint from the lab led by @LukeKoblan and @WilliamNColgan in which we describe our efforts to define a quantitative cell fate map of mouse embryogenesis! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
