Thanks Biophysical Society, Dr. Vasanthi Jayaraman for this initiative. This formal inclusion of early career researchers into the publishing process is a much needed step and hopefully will be embraced by other journals. Looking forward to serving as a reviewer.

Congratulations Prof Eugene Shakhnovich for being named a 2024 Society Fellows by the Biophysical Society! Read more about the honor here: biophysics.org/news-room/biop…

Ever wondered what drives the fusion of protein condensates? In our recent preprint, we provide physical pictures of how condensates merge. The mechanism for sticker-spacer polymers is distinct from the canonical homopolymers. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Had a wholesome experience in presenting my postdoc work ICSB 2023. The community is amazing. So many stimulating discussions already. Many more to come in the next 3 days! #sysbio #icsb2023

Why do we always find many many condensates/droplets inside living cells? Using simulations and theory, we argued that the multi-condensate state is a function optimization strategy. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I wrote down my rules on how to Science. I hope you find it useful!

Check out work by Jonathon Ditlev, Ani Chattaraj, Bruce Mayer, Zeynep Baltaci, where we show how the SP concept can help deduce new features of a well known in vitro experimental condensate system. Phase Transition Papers Rohit V. Pappu biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very eager to participate in this Biophysical Society sponsored discussion along with Dr. Vasanthi Jayaraman where we will share our experiences as PD reviewer for Biophysical Journal. Do tune in if you can! #PostDocReviewerProgram

Important new contribution by Ani Chattaraj and Eugene Shakhnovich. Separation of sticker-spacer energetics governs the coalescence of metastable biomolecular condensates biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎉 Excited to announce the 23rd edition of the International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB) at IIT Bombay India from Nov 30- Dec 5, 2024!🗓️ Abstract submissions and registrations will start soon. Stay tuned for more updates! icsb2024.com Theoretical Systems Biology Group ICSB 2023

Excited to announce that the Shakhnovich Biophysics Lab Harvard Chemistry is now on Twitter! Follow us for lab-related news, interesting science, and new publications. Stay tuned and join our scientific journey! 🧬🧪🔬

Gearing up for the Keystone Symposia on Biomolecular Condensates, taking place at the beautiful Colorado. Looking forward to the exciting talks and discussions on biological phase separation. #KSCondensates25

In this study in MBoC, Ani Chattaraj and Zeynep Baltaci spearhead our efforts (w/ Les Loew & Bruce Mayer) to develop methods to quantitatively understand and predict phase separation of multivalent binding partners using computational modeling and precise quantitative microscopy

In this article, we compare simulations and in-vitro experiments to show that Solubility product is a good proxy to identify the phase transition threshold for heterotypic condensates. Wonderful collab between Les Loew and Jonathon Ditlev Mechanistic Modeling of Cell Systems
