We're getting into grad application season — if you are interested disciplines associated with Biophysical studies, consider applying to our program. A great, young super-involved faculty doing cutting edge biophysical research here in Colorado: science.du.edu/biophysics
Another paper from the Kushner lab as they continue their dive into micropatterning to study angiogenic processes... Congrats to Drew, Talen and all authors!! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37993505/
Thanks to Michelle and Brody for repping MCBP @DU_Biophysics at #BPS2023. Think the doughnuts were for sharing otherwise they wouldn't be sitting so still for the pic... 😉


Still accepting PhD applications to the Molecular and Cellular Biophysics Program at DU for the Fall 2025 -- contact Director Michelle Knowles for more information!

Happy to see this collab with the Loerke lab out in @JCellBio - congrats to Katie, Liam, Dinah, and all coauthors. A short thread for those interested: doi.org/10.1083/jcb.20…
Congrats Dr Huxley Hoffman on your publication in your postdoc! We love to see former lab members continue their success. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…
Nice to see Hui's and Megan’s paper on an endocytic recycling pathway necessary for fast cleavage furrow formation out in @Dev_journal :-) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37590130/
Nice paper on Intrinsically Disordered Proteins from MCBP member Kingshuk Ghosh and colleagues: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37133846/
Not Colorado, but not that far over the state line… (hello grad applicants😉)
Congrats to Huxley and Schuyler on the new paper... :-)
There are a a lot of hard days at the lab bench. When you have a great day of experiments or a publication come out, don't forget to celebrate it! Check out our latest publication in @ASMicrobiology #JVirology @DU_Biophysics @DUsciencemath #Virology journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11…
The autumnal "lucky-to-live-here, and-so-can-you" (if you apply to our grad programs) tweet. Two Colorado-based PhD programs to choose from at DU: Biological Sciences @ science.du.edu/biology/gradua… MCBP Biophysics @ du.edu/nsm/department…
Super nice paper in @NatureComms from MCBP student Caitlin Francis and the Kushner lab — congrats to all! (and of course it's nice — Rab35! ;-) ) nature.com/articles/s4146…
Congrats to MCBP student Caitlin Francis and PI Erich Kushner on the super-nice review of mb trafficking during angiogenesis — aptly published in Angiogenesis! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35449244/
Congratulations to Scott Horowitz and lab on the new MIRA award from NIH!
Nice new paper from the Latham lab, congrats! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34896395/
Great news, congratulations!
Some nice news — many thanks to NIH and the DEV-1 study section for funding our work with a new R01 😊 Here’s a movie to celebrate — like that vertex sliding is so easily seen during T3 growth… (note the transverse interfaces (red/cyan) shrinking as the blue T3 grows)
And a last photo from Nick's defense: @_vanlab_ made a custom fortune cookie for Nick with the below... 😉

Huge congrats to Nick Groves @nsgroves_du from @_vanlab_ on earning his PhD! He's been a huge part of our program and will be very missed, but excited to see what he does at Knight Cancer. Many great photos from his defense, but liked his innovative gel extraction techniques...
