Doing science with youngsters has been a passion of mine for a long time, but seeing these students get excited about a project that means so much to me has been uniquely rewarding. Access to hands-on science early in my childhood was essential in getting to where I am today ❤️

Very intersting work by Jeetain Mittal and his colleagues showing liquid condensation of SOD1. Great work! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join us tomorrow!

This was totally rad. Thanks to Ella Sugerman from @ManuelKRausch1 lab for leading us on this adventure. Looking forward to the next visit to the Science Mill !

BIG Congrats (like the Buccees barbecue fan club cup) to Madison Pickett, a second-year student Texas BME, on winning the NSF #GRFP award! You are already doing great work in women's health and cancer biophysics. We are super proud of you and excited for what comes next!!!

Congrats Tom Scheidt; well deserved!!

Interested in how structural changes in ECM proteins control bioactivity? Check out our recent paper: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…. Congrats to Sachin, Yu-Jen Wang , Hasan, Freddy, and @ManuelKRausch1 for all the hard work!

Join Mia Markey as she moderates a panel with three current Texas BME grad students. Research presentations from Christian Jennings, Tyer Jost, and Hung-Yun Lu. Q&A to follow. sapun p Amy Brock Samantha R. Santacruz bme.utexas.edu/news/calendar/…

As Program Co-Chairs, Sapun Parekh and I have put together an exciting program for the IDP-subgroup symposium on Feb 18 at the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting #bps2023 Biophysical Society sapun p Looking forward to seeing you in San Diego in Feb 2023. biophysics.org/2023meeting/pr…

Congrats to Yujen Wang (not on twitter) who defended his PhD dissertation on Tuesday to such comments as "this should be the model for what we should expect from a PhD in BME". Much deserved praise and very happy for him!

Friends of the disordered protein universe, join us for the #IDPs Symposium on Subgroup Saturday in San Diego at the BPS 2023 meeting. Following our outstanding program, we will meet for excellent food and conversation at our annual dinner! Sign up here: tinyurl.com/2622893t

Friends and colleagues in the @BioCondensates. Jasper Michels and I have a joint PD position to study biophysics of nucleoporins using microfluidics and microscopy experiments together with simulations. Please see the ad below!

Big congrats to Advika Kamatar from Texas BME in our lab for being awarded an NSF Fellowship. Very well deserved for all her hard work!

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A fun and nice collaboration with @StachowiakLab on lipid droplets (which are all over cells) serving as triggers phase for protein separation. Excellent work by our joint student Advika Kamatar. Looking forward to more exciting science together.

Interested in how crowding affects protein structure and aging in phase separation? Check out the paper by Mateusz Brzeziński , @jaspermichels together with the Lemke Lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out work from Hasan Hedayati together with Tim Yeh on using FRET to measuring molecular deformation of proteins in ECM networks. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Nice work by Christian Jennings together with the Bayer and Miller (BG&R Lab) labs using macroscale molecular microscopy showing collagen disorganization and denaturing in a prolapse-like mouse cervix. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Nice work by Madison Pickett and colleagues showing how ECM architecture can tune metabolic state and EMT in breast cancer. cancerci.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Interested in how nutrition tunes metabolism and affects cancer? Check out this work by Mohini Kamra and colleagues attempting to put together the puzzle. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ever wonder how forces affect nuclear transport in cells? Check out the latest paper by Nick Scott in Texas BME showing that chemotherapy transport into the nucleus depends on cell mechanics. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
