Exciting news! As of today, our group is part of SISSA in Trieste. Big THANK YOU to all current and past group members, collaborators and mentors and to @mpicbg for hosting us for 8 amazing years! If you are interested in joining us in Trieste, please get in touch! @Sissaschool

Very happy to share the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab! https://t.co/0gmwblw1Wb. We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)

Code for the numerical examples shown in the paper is also available:

Tommaso's paper on approximating moments of stochastic multiscale models is now out in Math Biosci! Fantastic job by @churli ! @csbdresden @mpicbg

The new method is integrated into our symbolic moment generator Compartor, which is available on GitHub:

This is now up @BiophysJ! Getting lipid signaling kinetic parameters from single-cell data with @MLennartz1 @PavelBarahtjan @looneycoons11 @JManuel9112 @zechnerlab @nadlerlab @MMSchuhmacher 😀😊 Read here! https://t.co/TBA2tMA424

Two great talks from Tarun Mascarenhas and Anne-Lena Moor from Zechner lab on information transfer during ⁦@centuri_ls⁩ conference in Cargese. Very interesting. 😊

@KhammashLab Congrats!!!

[Dora Tang @DoraTang5]

Its out! We integrate Cell‐Free Quorum Sensing Gene Circuits into Droplet Interface Bilayers. A great platform for bio-inspired bidirectional communication. Beautiful work @gonzalesdavid in collaboration with @zechnerlab! See it here....

Officially out now @EMBOPress with a beautiful cover by @NerliElisa! Enjoy...https://t.co/0Z2i6G1vrk

[David Brückner @d_brueckner]

How do distant DNA loci come into contact to activate genes?

Our paper combining live imaging 🔬& polymer physics 🧬 to answer this is out in @ScienceMagazine!

We show how chromosome packing & diffusion determine pairwise dynamics & transcription

Very proud to share that former group member @LorenzoDuso was awarded the Otto-Hahn Medal for his outstanding PhD thesis @csbdresden @mpicbg Many congratulations for this exceptional achievement! Image: © David Ausserhofer / Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

Congrats David!!

[David T. Gonzales @davidtgonzales1]

Our preprint on building a bottom-up synthetic multicellular community is up! 😄 https://t.co/qjwnP1Vkrg See how we use cell-free expression of quorum sensing gene circuits in DIBs to make synthetic cells that communicate and have feedback loops! @DoraTang5 @zechnerlab @mpicbg

[André Nadler @nadlerlab]

Together with the @zechnerlab we have pushed live-cell quantitative lipid biochemistry to the single cell level. It works - but some lipids are weird. 🤓
Great effort by shared 1st authors @davidtgonzales1 and @MMSchuhmacher. Let us know what you think! https://t.co/Ux5fdJxmwe

[Zechner lab @zechnerlab]

Excited to share Anne's new paper in Phys Rev Res, presenting a method to quantify information transmission (-rates) in biochemical networks. Congrats!! @csbdresden @mpicbg https://t.co/UT9jd3BvDu

[Stefano Bo @BosseStefansson]

Open PhD position to work with me on the Stochastic dynamics and thermodynamics of living systems @KCL_Physics @KingsCollegeLon to start in Oct ‘23 https://t.co/dguV1lhE1i

[Anders Sejr Hansen @Anders_S_Hansen]

Thanks @Dmichiel1 @wendy_bickmore for highlighting in @MolecularCell https://t.co/mOmzM2O8nX our recent work https://t.co/WJta8hUSmT visualizing a TAD-forming CTCF/cohesin loop in live cells and showing these structures to be dynamic, rare, and largely partially extruded.

Next up @davidtgonzales1!! Wonderful example of a multidisciplinary PhD project, combining both experiment and theory. Many congratulations to your graduation David!! @tanglab @mpicbg @csbdresden @imprs_mpicbg

[Zechner lab @zechnerlab]

Huge congratulations to @FOltsch for his outstanding PhD defense last week! Many thanks for all the great work & fun and best of luck for your future adventures! @imprs_mpicbg @csbdresden @mpicbg
