Can we teach bacteria to autonomously synthesize and assemble biomaterials? Qi Xie 谢旗 and coworkers thing so! Excited to share our work on secretion-catalyzed assembly, out now in Angewandte Chemie. Bacillus's translocon can act like a nano silk spinneret! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

We are hiring in the Dept. of Biophysics & Biophysical Chemistry Biophysics Dept@Johns Hopkins Med at Johns Hopkins Medicine ! We invite applicants working in any related field including cryo-ET, cryo-EM, computational biology, single molecule Biophys. and more. Please RT! apply.interfolio.com/128991

Johns Hopkins Biophysics is hiring tenure-track faculty as part of a faculty expansion at JHU! All ranks, all areas molecular to cellular, theory, comp. and experiment.

Excited to share our preprint where we 'discover' kinetic protocols for macromolecular self-assembly of highly stable complexes biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Awesome grad student Adip Jhaveri and former undergrad Spencer Loggia, automatic differentiation is a cool method!

The 2024 Biophysical Society meeting will be in Philadelphia. The abstract deadline is just about two weeks away. We have the BPS Lecture by Carolyn Bertozzi and an exciting program by Elizabeth Villa and Ibrahim Cisse. And the dance is back!

Our faculty search is still open for 10 more days. Come join our biophysics department. biophysics.jhu.edu/about/job-oppo…

Want to work on biological physics at Johns Hopkins? (OK, or other areas of physics which I accept are also interesting). We have a prize postdoctoral fellowship, with competitive pay, some independent research budget - Dec. 1 deadline academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25522

Congratulations to Karen Fleming of JHU Biohysics, president-elect of the Biophysical Society! Very exciting!!

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to serve the Biophysical Society in this role. The society has been so important and impactful for me and my #science over the arc of my career, and I am delighted to give back.

Can sensing of membrane receptors be switched on at tunable threshold densities, without active processing? Proud to share this preprint led by the awesome Dr Foley, please check it out!

Does protein dimerization always help targeting and dwell time on DNA? Not for a population! Spacing between DNA targets has big impact. Nonspecific binding and facilitated (1D) diffusion play a key role. Super proud of Mankun Sang’s work! doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…
