With @ThirumalaiArmy and @tienhung_91, we wrote a review on 'Minimal Models for RNA Simulations', now published in @COSB_CRSB. We highlight how coarse-grained models capture the complex behaviour of RNA, from ribozyme folding to phase separation and more. doi.org/10.1016/j.sbi.…

Free volume theory explains the unusual behaviour of viscosity in a non-confluent tissue during morphogenesis. elifesciences.org/articles/87966…

We are excited to share that our recent work on understanding the unusual dependence of viscosity on cell packing fraction observed in an experiment has been published in eLife. More details are in the following thread.@ThirumalaiArmy @xinlee0 doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Congratulations Dr. Davin Jeong for successfully defending her PhD!! @dv_jeong studied interphase chromosome structures with MD simulations and data-driven methods. Read up on her work here biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
