Excited to share our latest work in @PNASNews! Combining simulations and cryo-ET, we reveal how microtubules decide between growth and shortening. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… @KalutskiyMaksim @microtubule_guy @CompBioPhys @mpi_nat @QMUL @UoDLifeSciences

The BioEmu-1 model and inference code are now public under MIT license!!! Please go ahead, play with it and let us know if there are issues. github.com/microsoft/bioe…

Very happy to receive a @wellcometrust CDA! The award will fund my lab for a whopping 8 years, allowing us to dissect force-sensing at the kinetochore-microtubule interface in depth using structural methods. We are currently looking for a postdoc: qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/candidate/a…

I have a poster at CCPBioSim presenting our new development on GCMC RBFE. See you in Southampton. #CCPBioSim

#compchem New preprint: "The Q-AMOEBA (CF) Polarizable Potential". arxiv.org/abs/2502.12708 Improved Q-AMOEBA polarizable water model with inclusion of quantum nuclear effects and its extensions (ions + organic molecules). Great work by @MaugerNastasia & another nice…

Another wonderful collaboration with @alanbrownhms lab. The Zhang lab together with @PolinaLishko lab (co-first author @QingweiN) contribute the doublet microtubule structure from Crithidia fasciculata, a model organism that infects mosquitoes. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🚨🚨 MEGA JOB ALERT 🚨🚨 Independent Group Leader Positions in Computational Biology @humantechnopole! Are you ready to start your own lab? Do you know someone who is? Repost this + share with everyone who might want to know about it. Thanks!!! 🙏 More details below... 🧵 1/3

"... individuals without a hit paper as a postdoc are significantly less likely to pursue a faculty career than those with at least one... " Interesting #publication in @PNASNews #Sciencetwitter #phdlife #postdoclife #Science #academia pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn……
