Our Lab's first paper!

Janna and Guillermo’s paper on programming colloidal interactions using linker DNA oligomers was accepted in Physical Review X! To celebrate, the group went to Redbones.

Ben and Daichi travel to Kyoto, Japan

Ben and Daichi visited Kyoto University to learn about RNA-protein condensates from Hiro Saito and his student Sora Matsumoto. The visit was part of a recent SPIRITS grant (Supporting Program for Interaction-based Initiative Team Studies) aimed at developing an international collaboration focused on liquid-liquid phase separation in living systems. Thank you again to Hiro and Sora for the wonderful trip!
