Yes definitely!
As a starting point, our lab had compiled a database of dynamics measurements for various TFs obtained through SMT, FRAP, FCS etc. (www.mir-lab.com/dynamics-dat...) and we want to continue to expand it.

Thank you, we hope people use it to think about condensates in various systems! SPARK isn’t sequence-based but rather works by modulating kinetic parameters (diffusion coeff, binding probability, residence time etc.) which does affect properties like brightness and persistence of condensates (Fig 1)
I'm moving to Purdue University as a tenured professor this summer! Excited to hire postdocs there and get a lab up and running with @runxishen.bsky.social as co-lead.

"Elsevier incurred costs of around £1.7 billion last year, which included investment to develop new technology and for improving services."
Let that sink for a min. $1.7B expenses ($2.7B revenue and $1B profit) and they expect us to believe they're developing any sorts of technology.
We're specifically looking for someone who has built things and loves crazy projects than any particular degree/background. In this position, you'll work both in the Great Salt Lake (Utah) and at IU constructing synthetic salt lake "playas".
Please spread the word! [3/3]
So cool! I watched this 10x in a row.
1/🧵 Can transcription factor condensate formation be explained without phase separation? Our new preprint introduces SPARK, a simulation tool that reproduces condensate behavior (clustering, fusion, FRAP) from diffusion & binding kinetics alone.

The Bisson Lab at IU (bissonlab.com) is hiring makers/builders/engineers across all career stages to join our team in one of the most exciting and crazy projects I've set to work on. Candidates can email us: [email protected]

Supported by @hypothesisfund.bsky.social, we are developing new technologies to image microbes "in natura" across phases of salt brine, crystal, and liquid environments that can be deployed in the field under salty/dusty/hot conditions. [2/3]
