We study how living things build themselves. Core approaches are molecular biophysics and cryo-ET. We also work closely with developmental and computational biologists. Will post about new results, relevant meetings, and cool papers from collaborators.

Emergent actin flows explain distinct modes of gliding motility - Nature Physics
Unicellular parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii, can use different forms of gliding motions when infecting a host. These motility modes arise from the self-organizing properties of filamentous actin ...
