Great fun and great science at QMPE 2025 in Shenzhen! www.qmpe.net

Just out on bioRxiv - spcg collab with Piel lab: growing mammalian cells use two independent systems — one controlling volume, one driving protein synthesis — to control macromolecular density.

Together, they restore dry mass density homeostasis.

Spcg preprint with Bertotti lab and @litinice.bsky.social. It took >5y but proud to say it works—and we know why and how. μSeq infers mutation rates from deep sequencing of single clonal expansions, >10x faster than MALs. Validated in cancer organoids and in yeast.
