I am super excited that one of the most interesting finding in my lab was published in Nature Microbiology !! Have you heard about the fungus that helps carnivorous plants digest insects? 🐜🍃

Congrats to my students Po-Yin Chen and Yung-Chih Chen 陳永智 for their first paper in the lab 中央研究院 Academia Sinica IMB Academia Sinica ! rdcu.be/dPQiQ "A Whole-cell Platform for Discovering Synthetic Cell Adhesion Molecules in Bacteria" Now published Nature Communications

Starting this September, I'll be leading my own lab at IBC Academia Sinica 中央研究院 Academia Sinica! We'll use protein engineering to develop innovative fluorescent biosensors for studying cellular metabolism.

How do #bacteria navigate tight spots? Coordinated #flagella movement — like a tug-of-oars on the opposite ends of the bacteria — enables efficient navigation in constrained environments, this study suggests. Dive into the paper: go.aps.org/4deN4zi

Excited to share our preprint on ERK-mediated dynamic translocation of ZO-1 from tight junction to podosomes during collective cell migration with a talented posdoc Sayuki Sayuki HIRANO co-supervised by Dr. Ueno Naoto UENO. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our work with Takehiro is now on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2409.14002 We found that optimal information processing strategies can undergo discontinuous transition along with available resources, which can not only be progressive from simple to complex but also regressive (1/n)

"The central idea [of physics is] that the world is understandable, that you should be able to take anything apart, understand the relationships between its constituents, do experiments, and on that basis be able to develop a quantitative understanding of its behavior." [1/2]

Given today’s great news from the #NobelPrize2024, I want to share a couple of personal thoughts on Hopfield Networks. This idea had an enormous impact on at least three large disciplines: Statistical Physics, Computer Science and AI, and Neuroscience.

Out of curiosity: how do you keep track of musical artist's concerts? My current approach is to occasionally Google one or two I'd like to see, then curse when I realized they played my town two months ago and I missed it There's got to be a better solution. I've looked at

It's great to see this review finally out in print journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/1…
