Check our latest paper where we use correlative Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Fluorescence Microscopy to study biomolecular condensates surface tension and viscosity. Published in Biophysical Journal sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to share our "2-step" force sensor for measuring single molecule force loading rates in live cells. Integrins pull ~1pN/sec while ramping from ~5pN to ~50 pN. Forces are super dynamic! Video below highlights single events salaitalab Emory Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Applications are now open for SMB 2025, the 12th biennial conference on Single Molecule Biophysics at the Aspen Center for Physics in Aspen, Colorado USA, over Jan. 5-9, 2025. Application deadline is September 15. Please RT. jila.colorado.edu/smb/

The Ullswater Way will be our next walking challenge on May 4th 2025 We'll be taking 100 children and adults around this beautiful area to raise over £20,000 to support children with brain tumours - and we want YOU there Head to oscarspbtc.org/events/ullswat… to learn more and sign up

Chromatin scientists, want to reorganize genomic loci as you wish? Out today in Cell--We made a tool that uses surface tension of engineered condensates to reposition DNA loci across microns of space in living cells in just a few minutes: VECTOR cell.com/cell/abstract/…

Excited to share our new paper Nature Communications. bit.ly/3WUkxbJ Single-nucleosome imaging reveals that condensins act as molecular crosslinkers, locally constraining nucleosomes to organize mitotic chromosomes. Nucleosome-nucleosome interactions constrain whole chromosomes.

This is good news! Laura would be delighted to see progress in the search for personalised treatments for children with brain tumours, she was in awe of JonesLabICR & wanted to help in any way she could. So she donated her brain & we donated £30,000 from the #BeMoreLaura fund ❤️

I know it’s a long shot, but Sarah, one of our lovely #AngelMums (lost her beautiful daughter Emily to a brain tumour recently) just had a hire car stolen in France, with luggage & passports etc but most importantly, Emily’s irreplaceable cuddly rabbits. Pls share, just in case
