What controls whether cells - or clusters of cells - break off from an invading cancerous front? New preprint from my group in collaboration with the Konstantopoulos group @KKLabJHU , led by @wwang721 https://t.co/Gu1aPN2nI9

[Yuan He @YuanHeJHU]

Excited to relocate my lab to @JohnsHopkins and join as a @JHU_BDPs! We are actively recruiting at all levels—seeking talented scientists passionate about cracking the codes of the epigenome. Let’s push the frontiers of transcription, DNA repair, and structural biology together!

A phase field model of a crawling cell captures cell motility patterns observed experimentally on confined substrate geometries. It describes how larger, softer epithelial cells hop more persistently while smaller, stiffer cells remain bistable.

If you're interested in a PhD in biophysics (broadly defined), consider Johns Hopkins. Our Jenkins program (Dec 1 deadline) has folks working on CryoEM structures, computational modeling, single-molecule biophysics, and lots more! https://t.co/LfsmvPPFqf

[BPPB Seminar @BppbSeminar]

Please join BPPB on Friday Nov 8 at 11 US Eastern for a tutorial ("Holographic microscopy to track bacterial motility in 3D") and talk ("Bacterial upstream swimming in complex fluids") by Arnold Mathijssen @AJTM_M. For more info please visit https://t.co/M3vQcEQkQB.

Late on advertising this, but if you're in the neighborhood of Penn, I'll be giving a seminar there this Monday, talking about our work on cells sensing electric fields as well as footprint interactions: https://t.co/YO6LJWfRFf

[Brian Camley @diffusiveblob]

@orzelc OK - will pass along the ad and let you decide on the fit! Thanks!

[John Wallingford @jbwallingford]

Delighted to share my latest #devbiol story ⁦@NautilusMag⁩. This one’s about James Bond, cilia, and the wondrously complex interplay of embryos and people. https://t.co/h9CdIafnfJ

[Wallace Marshall @WallaceUcsf]

I wanted to announce our Focus Session on Physical Forces in Wound Healing and Regeneration, which I'm co-organizing with @TangSindy at the APS 2025 March Meeting (March 16-21, 2025, in Anaheim, CA) (1/n)

@CAS_ReproLab Bill was an interesting guy - I am not sure whether he would be flattered or irritated by this being the first line of his obituary.

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

A physicist is anyone who transforms as a physicist when operated on by the Nobel committee

[Demian Levis @demian_levis]

The #NobelPrize in Physics acknowledging (once again) that Physics is not “only” about materials, subatomic particles, etc. it is also about machine learning, neuroscience, ecology … Statistical mechanics in action! and we have many challenges still ahead!

[Brian Camley @diffusiveblob]

@p_r_francois You could maybe make a case for Hodgkin-Huxley but otherwise, totally agreed! Very exciting!

[Vince Buffalo @vsbuffalo]

Nature is surprised academic lineages coalesce if you go back far enough 😂

This is yet another example of something that appears surprising and informative, but it’s actually just a lack of a useful null model being specified.

Want to highlight again - JHU Biophysics is searching for a computation/theory person. I think JHU is a great environment, and the department is quite supportive of new faculty and friendly - I highly encourage people to apply, and please contact me if you have questions.

[Brian Camley @diffusiveblob]

Want to join JHU Biophysics? We're searching for a theoretical/computational biophysicist (any rank): https://t.co/Dc0dN30Uag

@ZS_biophys OK that makes more sense, I didn't do the math myself :shame:
