Exploring biological questions in new theoretical ways

Thank you for joining us at the first day of the 'Expanding the Palette of Mathematics in Biology' workshop! We look forward to returning tomorrow to continue our discussions

I'm also honored to present this work at the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting next month as the recipient of the Physical Cell Biology Early Career Award! I'm grateful to the Subgroup Committee for this recognition.
I’m excited to share a new preprint led by Aishani Ghosal, formerly a postdoc in my group and now an assistant professor at NISER, with experiments led by Lindsay Case’s group at MIT! We show how client recruitment shapes composition in multicomponent condensates.

Principles of Client Enrichment in Multicomponent Biomolecular Condensates
Biomolecular condensates are commonly organized by a small number of scaffold molecules that drive phase separation together with client molecules that do not condense on their own but become selectiv...
