Paul Farmer, THE person who made health into a human right and inspired legions to take action, has died. The world weeps.

This is an excellent idea to promote young scientists and give them the both the credit and responsibility they have earned through their work.

We experimentally tested a small subset of the catalog and showed that the majority of tested mutations do indeed result in altered condensate properties in cells. Effects ranged from reduced or enhanced condensate incorporation to altered condensate localization. (7/)

Celebrating 50 yrs of Joan!!! 🥳 Awesome to see so many trainees and friends 😁.

“We have the observations that condensates form. Now we need to show why they are important.” My latest on biomolecular phase separation for @NatureNews: nature.com/articles/d4158… Thanks to Jonathon Ditlev TanjaMittag @PappulabWashU Richard Young KnowlesLab Cambridge @Isaac Klein &more

Expecting amazing things from this talented team!

Looks like Joan is a clue in the WashPo crossword puzzle today! 🤓 washingtonpost.com/crosswords/dai…

Rick Young and I are very proud of the accomplishments of CAMP4 and will be discussing the methods to upregulate gene expression by targeting regRNAs (6/22 at 530 ET). Richard Young CAMP4 Therapeutics youtube.com/watch?v=cyNx2C…

Happy to share our study in Nature Chemical Biology showing that small molecules partition selectively into biomolecular condensates that compartmentalize the cell!

An 11th grade student from Westford MA asks: what are condensates? Thank you postdoc Alessandra Dall'Agnese for answering their question! Our latest #AskaScientist video is published on BioNook, Whitehead Institute's online biology resource: wi.mit.edu/bionook/ask-a-…

Many chronic diseases have a common denominator that could be driving their dysfunction: reduced protein mobility, which in turn reduces protein function. A new paper from Richard Young's lab describes this pervasive mobility defect: wi.mit.edu/news/cellular-…
