Check out our paper, now extensively revised and published in @MolecularCell! This has been a real tour de force led by @stephsansbury and @YSereb and we are very excited about the findings and future potential of this approach cell.com/molecular-cell…
Geometric packing of tubules in the developing kidney urinary collecting system leads to tissue stiffening and rhythmic mechanical stresses local to nephron-forming niches that synchronize with tubule branching. @HughesLabPenn nature.com/articles/s4156…
I wrote an Op-Ed about the government's attacks on Harvard. Please share with anybody who thinks these attacks help anybody. prosyn.org/PhWi74r?h=KyJ1…
WOW👏👏👏 @RepAuchincloss gets it. More of this please!
Basic science is inspired by curiosity, accountable to evidence, and subject to peer review. Politics should have no role.
We are hiring postdocs! Projects on 1) probes for remote control of cell death and inflammation, and 2) application in vivo to study inflammation in cancer and therapy. Exciting science in an unparalleled environment @Penn @pennbioeng. DM or email if interested!
Can't wait to return to my training grounds @UCSF @UCSFCancer to share what our group has been up to in the 6 years since my postdoc. Focusing on oncogenic condensates and thermogenetic control of cancer.
Tomorrow 10/25 at 4pm: Lukasz Bugaj, PhD, @BugajLab @Penn presents "Perturb to understand: optical and thermal control of condensation, signaling, and cell behavior" at our @ucsf Friday Seminar Series in Basic and Translational Research. ow.ly/65Me50TSQCG

Looking forward to hosting the next generation of exceptional scholars today!! Come join us in John Morgan Auditorium for amazing talks and networking after. @PennMedicine @BMBGGUPENN
The pleasure was mine — great to get to know the fantastic people and science (and weather!) at Dundee. Thanks for the invite!

Princeton's new Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute (@omenndarlingbio) is running multiple faculty searches this year! We are really excited to grow our bioengineering faculty & move into a brand-new building. Postdocs on the market - apply at: puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply…
Starts next week! Interact with the global leaders in optogenetics in a small-conference setting. Registration still available, hope to see you there! aiche.org/sbe/conference…
Join us for the 2024 Optogenetics Technologies conference in Boston! Outstanding lineup including: @AdamEzraCohen, @KhammashLab, @MoeglichLab @toettch @ProfJohnARogers @DunlopLab @coledeforest , Haifeng Ye + many more. 🗓️Sept. 10-12 Abstracts due 6/7! aiche.org/sbe/conference…
beautiful results @jess_ljx @arjunrajlab!
Excited to share our new @biorxivpreprint in which we demonstrate the formation and maintenance of cellular memories in melanoma during acquisition of therapy resistance - dependent on the transcription factor AP-1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/9)
