Bio-scientists of Twitter! What in whole (Bio)Physics you never understood but were too afraid to ask? 🙏Please help us @PVicenteMunuera SharonJXY Andela Saric collect some ideas for our new (open?) course in Computational Biology @MRC_LMCB UCL IPLS 🧑‍🎓 📝➡️ forms.gle/9XuJooxHTiTTxV…

Chris’s first paper, on the dynamics of vesicle reshaping and scission under osmotic shocks, including bursting and developing inner compartments, is out in Soft Matter. Congrats Chris! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… UCL IPLS @MRC_LMCB

Very proud of this collaborative work led by Anne&Lena on the physical model for archaeal cell division by ESCRT-III filaments, including quant matching to live cell data by the great Buzz Baum's Lab and Ricardo Henriques. @MRC_LMCB UCL IPLS 1/3

Rigidity gradients can drive directional motion of passive objects and possibly sort them according to size and adhesion properties. Simulations and theory in our new paper on #membrane #durotaxis with Alex, Vincent, Kees Storm and Andela Saric 😀 ➡️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Using theory and experiments, a team led by Dr Thomas Michaels UCL Mathematical & Physical Sciences with Harvard colleagues Harvard SEAS investigated how apples get their shapes, showing that the shape of the 'cusp' where the stalk grows is universal, found in reflections of light & water ucl.ac.uk/news/2021/oct/…

Soft matter on the beach. Including intense scientific discussions, braving the freezing sea, and obsessively collecting shells..

We're moving 🛩️! After 5+ transformative years UCL IPLS UCL Mathematical & Physical Sciences and UCL Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology , in January we'll join ISTAustria near Vienna. We're looking for postdocs who would enjoy bio-soft matter sims & Sachertorte: ist.ac.at/en/job/postdoc… .

Also, prospective PhD students: consider applying for the #ISTAustria graduate programme phd.pages.ist.ac.at/phd-program-ov… !

Sharon SharonJXY developed a coarse-grained polymer model to explore the physics behind membrane trafficking by staged assembly and disassembly of ESCRT-III filaments. Now in PLOS Comp Biol, with Buzz Baum's Lab and Roux Lab: Christian Vanhille Campos, Anna Pfitzner, and LenaHK 🍥🪄, ISTAustria.
