Why are transcription factors disordered? Come join us in Oxford as a postdoc and we'll find out together! Help publish 3 mature projects, AND develop cool new single molecule fluorescence binding assays! biophysics transcription protein:DNA interactions my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Over 10% of human transcription factors are oligomeric. Stoichiometry might be dialled to modulate transcription. We show CREB searches in DNA mixtures as a dimer, and suggest this might be common amongst other members of the bZIP family which fold on binding DNA. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm excited to be invited alongside the fabulous Sonia Longhi to present at IDPseminars this Thursday. I will talk about some of our work with disordered DNA binding domains.

Just one stop. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Announcing the Biophysics Week IDP Trainee Symposium on March 27 at 12pm CT hosted by @idpseminars.bsky.social & The BPS IDP Subgroup! Join via Zoom for talks by talented grad students & postdocs. Abstract submissions are open! See flyer for more details! #BiophysicsWeek @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social

Our latest work: how can compartmentalization emerge in a eukaryotic genome lacking canonical heterochromatin? By investigating bacterial genomes put in yeast, we show that the presence or absence of transcription is sufficient! #chromatin #3Dgenome #generegulation www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 👇

What happens to bacterial genomes when they're cloned into yeast? Do they transcribe, do they get silenced, do they get packaged away from the rest of the DNA? This cool study congrats to the Koszul lab team at Pasteur for this great work. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

PhD opportunities (yes, plural!) We will launch a center of excellence “Plat-PATH” with @bjornppedersen.bsky.social this summer. We have an opening for some PhD students to work on plant hormone transporter mechanism. - Details and application link: tinyurl.com/44hf9zkd Please repost 💚

Attn. Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Subgroup members: We are excited to host our IDP subgroup dinner on Feb 15 after the IDP symposium at a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles: Sol Agave L.A. LIVE. www.solagave.com/los-angeles You can purchase a dinner ticket: www.biophysics.org/store/produc...

Opportunity for postdocs in IDP related biophysics research! The deadline is coming up quite soon.

A paper to cite!

If you are a PhD student and like protein disorder (or want to learn more), Birthe Kragelund @bbkrage.bsky.social and Kristian Strømgaard are organizing a PhD course on How IDPs work 🧶🧬🧪 Note the cost if you are not at a Danish university. Details: phdcourses.ku.dk/DetailKursus...

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

My first post on Blue Sky - moving over ! For all post-docs out there - fantastic opportunity @EMBL. Independent group leader position: Core funding, state-of-the-art core facilities, access to fantastic Ph.D. students, and of course amazing colleagues. Please apply www.embl.org/jobs/positio...

New collaborative work in collaboration with the labs of Robert Best & Tanja Mittag driven by Ben Schuler. Identifying Sequence Effects on Chain Dimensions of Disordered Proteins by Integrating Experiments and Simulations. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

BONUS! If IDPs are your jam, check out an ever-expanding starter pack! go.bsky.app/J23B51L
