New SPCG paper. With the Bokinsky lab (Milan Lacassin), Andrea Ripamonti modeled the competition for transcriptional resources. Our data and model jointly show how E. coli’s second messengers ppGpp & cAMP reshape gene expression globally.

Our work on optimal treatment in presence of cancer persisters is out today in @prxlife.bsky.social 🎉
Alternated drug-release periods may be an advantage due to dose-dependent transition rates and slow death of persisters

New SPCG preprint in collaboration with the Amir lab
We solve an accumulator model of cell division with noisy threshold and memory, finding a continuum of strategies from timer to adder to sizer and that extrinsic noise is essential to explain E. coli size fluctuations.
