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
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
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.
APS March meeting abstract deadline is coming up - October 25! Submit to the Morphogenesis category 04.01.11 - Invited talks will be by Emily Gehrels @EmilyGehrels and Anna Erzberger @ErzbergerGroup

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
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
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)
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!
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.

Are you an undergraduate interested in pursuing graduate studies biological physics? Join us for a virtual panel “Applying to Graduate School in Biophysics” with panelists who have been on both sides of the application process! Oct. 3 at 3pm ET.

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.
