Thanks to my coauthors @myphysicsjourney.bsky.social, Andrew Pyo, Andrej Košmrlj, and Ned Wingreen!
Excited to hear all the interesting talks at our cellular signaling session next week in Denver (2 full sessions)! Thank you to everyone who submitted abstracts!
Check out our newest paper from the great @jbotello.bsky.social . Such an awesome discovery that the ribosome population undergoes molecular aging!!!!
Excited to share our latest preprint on pattern formation in chemotactic active matter 🌊
arxiv.org/abs/2603.02595
Led by Hongbo Zhao and jointly with Sujit Datta and Andrej Košmrlj. We combined an arsenal of analytical and numerical tools to study these amazing patterns due to MIPS and chemotaxis 🌀

Check out our latest work! A close theory-experiment collaboration (with @brangwynnelab.bsky.social) deciphering ribosome biogenesis bottlenecks in cancer cells and leveraging it to identify specific targets to reduce tumor growth.

Check out our latest work @prxlife.bsky.social! We present a theory that describes how mobile tethers (membrane proteins and specific lipids) affect condensate-membrane interaction, which should be relevant in a lot of biological processes.

We have postdoc openings for data-driven modeling and information flows in living systems, with a focus on embryonic development. mattiaserra.com
Requirements: PhD in Physics, Applied Math, or similar; prior exposure to biological data preferred.
Please share with potential candidates. Thank you!
Really excited that this major work from my PhD is finally published in @plosbiology.org ! In it, we were trying to tackle a fundamental question in evolution - how do genetic mutations map onto evolutionary fitness? (1/n)

Maybe I should tweet here too. Out yesterday is my first ever experimental paper, on a novel model organism...

New preprint! We show how mesoscopic nonequilibrium fluctuations in active gels emerge from the breaking of detailed balance at the molecular scale. Warning: Long technical paper ahead! Enjoy! @mpipks.bsky.social @ub.edu @ubics.bsky.social @icreacommunity.bsky.social

Mobile membrane tethers dynamically alter wetting properties, driving the localization and organization of biomolecular condensates along complex cellular membrane geometries.
Predicting the effect of a genetic mutation on fitness is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. This study uses fitness effects of a large collection of adaptive yeast mutants in multiple lab env...
