Excited to share that our bioRxiv preprint is now out in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…! x.com/Anders_S_Hanse…

This is a really interesting paper:

I’m beyond thrilled to share that I will be joining the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of Biological Engineering MIT Dept of BE as an Assistant Professor in January 2026! I will also be an intramural member of the legendary Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT Koch Institute at MIT

Congratulations to Dr. Viraat Goel and Dr. Domenic Narducci, both new PhDs in Biological Engineering from the lab!

We’re thrilled to welcome Eric Sun to the MIT Biological Engineering faculty. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead! @ericdsun #welcometoMIT

The MOSAIC reconfigurable microscope by Eric Betzig et al is finally out! MOSAIC integrates multiple advanced imaging techniques including light-sheet, label-free, super-resolution, and multi-photon, all equipped with adaptive optics: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It's official - I am thrilled to share that I am joining MIT Biology, the Koch Institute at MIT, and MIT IMES as an Assistant Professor this fall! We will be a hybrid lab combining new technologies and computation to study ecDNA and tumor evolution. thejoneslaboratory.com

Thrilled to be selected as an HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholar! Excited for what’s to come!

Our scMicro-C paper is out in Nature Genetics! Huge thanks to the reviewers for their valuable insights, to SunneyXie for unwavering support, and to fantastic collaborators Jiankun Zhang & Longzhi Tan. Thrilled to share this work!

Delighted to have our preprint led by Peng Lyu up: Genetic variation reveals a homeotic long noncoding RNA that modulates human hematopoietic stem cells biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵 below ...

Beyond excited to share our #NewPaper in Cell! Inflamed environments acidify intracellular pH. BRD4 senses this via transcriptional condensates, tuning #macrophage responses to match demand and consequences of inflammation. #inflammation #pH authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

We traveled to DC to talk to Congressional Staffers about the impact of NIH NIBIB funding. It enables us to develop synthetic biology tools to advance cell & genetic medicines for patients in need. REPOST to deliver the message that SCIENCE saves lives & makes America great!

New preprint! We solve a mystery you didn't know existed. Mitotic cells lack new transcription but require ongoing translation. Interphase mRNA half life is only 2-4 hrs. So how do cells arrest in mitosis for hours without depleting their transcriptomes? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Two-color 3D structured illumination modes on MOSAIC: widefield SIM @ 32 sec intervals; two lattice light sheet SIM movies at 6 sec and 10 sec intervals; and image scanning microscopy at 17.5 sec intervals.
