Associate Professor at MIT Chemistry; Enthusiastic about chromatin, biophysics, molecular dynamics, and AI.
Our collaborative paper with
@XuhuiHuangChem
is now published in Biophy J (shorturl.at/gxlTs). I learned a lot about kinetic modeling via this collaboration, and it can be quite illuminating for understanding chromatin folding!

Thrilled to share our new JCP editorial (shorturl.at/6mKdY), co-authored with @tamar_schlick, introducing the special collection “Chromatin Structure and Dynamics: Recent Advancements.”
Huge thanks to all the outstanding contributors!
Chromatin structure and dynamics: Recent advancements
Chromatin structure and dynamics are central to nearly every aspect of eukaryotic gene regulation. The spatial organization of the genome influences how genes a

Our preprint on a single-bead-per-nucleotide DNA model is live! This model reproduces both atomistic simulations and persistent length for a variety of sequences. It's compatible with openMM, allowing for highly efficient GPU simulations.
