Always a fun visit!

Princeton Bioengineering is hiring! (please ReTweet!). The search is open rank, but we're particularly interested in talented postdocs on the faculty job market. Applications due Nov15. Come join our vibrant and growing Bioengineering community! puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply…

Congratulations to all the 2023 Breakthrough Prize winners, including HHMI’s Clifford Brangwynne (brangwynnelab) Princeton University and Anthony Hyman MPI-CBG Dresden! bit.ly/3BW8otE

Thrilled to be awarded the 2023 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences together w/ Tony. An amazing journey we've been on, and the work of countless students, mentors, & colleagues, as well as the support of family & friends, have made this all possible.

First in-person lab retreat in 3 yrs... & I am not there due to +Covid test! (all ok, only mild symptoms). The team still having a great time (including cake & champagne celebration of BT prize!), sporting their new *Soft Living Matter Group* shirts. Amazing group of scientists!

Quiz question: Did we (1) open a new donut shop, or (2) go out to celebrate PhD students Hailey Tanner and Lenny Wiesner's successful general exams? You guessed it! Congrats to them both!

Happy to announce publicly that I was awarded a K99/R00 from NCI! Big thanks to Proud Cliff Brangwynne brangwynnelab and my co-mentor on this project Cigall Kadoch Cigall Kadoch Looking forward to big discoveries!

Hey chromatin scientists, want to reorganize DNA loci as you wish? We have a new tool for you that can create novel pairwise interactions across microns of space in living cells, in less than ten minutes: VECTOR biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Taking a break from Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) to enjoy the beautiful sunset @MBL with Jessica Zhao yoonji kim Hailey Tanner and Gladfelter Lab buddies Veronica Farmer and @madkeenen

Congrats to coauthors PhD student Chang Choi & former PhD student Daniel SW Lee & soon-to-be Prof David W. Sanders! on this really interesting paper showing how condensate interfaces can accelerate protein aggregation: Biophysical Journal cell.com/biophysj/fullt…

Chromatin scientists, want to reorganize genomic loci as you wish? Out today in Cell--We made a tool that uses surface tension of engineered condensates to reposition DNA loci across microns of space in living cells in just a few minutes: VECTOR cell.com/cell/abstract/…

Fantastic work!!! Congrats to the team on successfully VECTORing the genome with condensates! A tour-de-(capillary)force paper at the interface of many fields, pulled together by the great yoonji kim and Amy Strom, who coalesced a great team

Congrats to another newly-mined PhD student Chang Choi, who successfully defended his thesis on biomolecular phase separation & pathological aggregation using some cool tech, including this manuscript on interfacial acceleration of aggregation: cell.com/biophysj/fullt…

Postdoctoral researcher Amy Strom has won an award from the Blavatnik Family Foundation. The 2024 Blavatnik Regional Awards Winners and Finalists will be honored at the 2024 Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists Ceremony in NYC, today October 1. blavatnikfoundation.org/wp-content/upl…

Planning GSS & presenting with my awesome cohort was fun! Sharing my science with my department was also a blast-I was honored to be presented the "Best Talk" award!👩‍🔬 Thanks all for coming and Rigoberto Hernandez Elizabeth Zeitler and Udit Batra Waters Corporation for coming from far to join us!🤩

Excited to share that the first paper of my PhD work in brangwynnelab is out! In this work Nature Communications, we focus on how condensates in the cell nucleus respond to mechanical deformation during cell confined migration, a process involved in cancer cell metastasis. (1/3)

HNY! In case you thought 2025 is the year of the snake, it's actually the year of the SQUID🦑Excited to present this new protocol paper from the brangwynnelab on isolating+transfecting squid primary cells🧫✨! Check it out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to have been a part of it! 🦑👩‍🔬

Amazing group of students in Brangwynne rotation at this year's Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Physiology course!!!!
