Physics of intracellular architecture and dynamics. Currently Postdoc @UChicago.

[Shashi Thutupalli @stpalli]

We’re looking for postdocs to join our interdisciplinary group at the @NCBS_Bangalore

Please retweet and help get the word out.

Are you interested in how chemistry transitions to biology — the origins-of-life problem?

We have some recent work on this problem and we are excited by the possibilities. From an aqueous mixture of three salts and formaldehyde we get protocells. More about the work are in the thread below ⬇️

We are looking for creative scientists with skilful hands and analytical minds to continue the work.

Are you a chemist with analytical (particularly NMR and/or Mass Spectrometry) skills in exploring the biomolecular diversity this system is producing — amino acids, peptides, lipids and more?

Are you a materials scientist/experimental physicist interested in understanding the self assembly and self organisation mechanisms of this system?

Please reach out if you think you are well suited for this — [email protected] with your CV and a short write up about why this interests you.

We are recruiting a fully funded #postdoc under the CALIBRE AI in Bio. Postdoc. Fellowship Program @ictstifr.  
See https://t.co/FClCQCbNfB for details.

[PoLS at Georgia Tech @GT_PoLS]

When a cell divides, its centrosome splits in two—and cell division can go catastrophically wrong if the two centrosomes grow to different sizes. How does the cell regulate centrosome size? @DebSBanerjee1 and PoLS faculty @ShilaBanerji present a novel model in a new @eLife paper!

Single cells can learn without a nervous system, but how? In our new preprint, Deepa Rajan and I describe a simple model for habituation in Stentor cells, based on mechanoreceptor internalization and recycling, and test it with quantitative experiments.

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

[Rastko Sknepnek @sknepnek]

Our new preprint is out https://t.co/ntuvVUrps8 It's a collaborative work with @Euan_Mackay, Aimee Bebbington, @JochenKursawe, @JJanuschke and Marcus Bischoff @UoDLifeSciences @UoDSciEng @SchoolofBiology @StA_Maths_Stats 0/17

[Rituparno Mandal @MandalRituparno]

I am very excited to start as a faculty member at the Soft Condensed Matter Group at @RRI_Bangalore. We will be working on active matter, glasses, non-eq self-assembly, application of AI in soft matter and in many other interesting areas.

[Jordan Shivers @jordanlshivers]

The third annual South Side Science Festival is happening tomorrow @UChicago ! If you're around, come check out our fun hands-on rheology demo in the Center for Living Systems area.

@MandalRituparno @RRI_Bangalore Congratulations!

[Vaikuntanathan Lab @suri_lab]

Very happy to share new work by Cal (w Aaron and @murugan_chicago )  https://t.co/nmsyJqQOk8 ! We show how the expressivity/computational ability of non-equilibrium biological processes may expected to be fundamentally limited.

[Hyman Lab @HymanLab]

That's an excellent programme!
