Today we celebrated a great year of the UCD Biophysics! Thanks BPH students and faculty for sharing your talents and enthusiasm, and Vladimir Y-Y for your partnership. Congrats Simon Chu, Diego Lopez Mateos, Kyle Rouen on your BPH service awards, and Stefano Morotti on your BPH Mentoring Award!

I am beyond excited to be the guest editor for the first ever special issue on Large-pore channels. Once considered by selective channel folks as mysterious “black holes” (😉) they are now emerging as important regulators in health and disease. Share your work and submit a paper!

Happy Friday everyone! Delighted to share our latest work out today @naturecommunications led by an amazing postdoc in our group, Maria Casas Prat. rdcu.be/dh0zw Below is a brief summary:

Hope to see many UCD Biophysics and Biophysics Student Chapter at UC Davis students at the next annual meeting. And don't forget the poster competitions!
