Cancelling grants that were already competitively won and awarded is the waste and abuse. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/u...

I'm thrilled to announce my next career step-- I’m joining Genentech as a Principal Scientist & Lab Head in Discovery Oncology! I’ll be hunting new ways to target cancers using my background in disordered nuclear proteins.

If heterochromatin is really a liquid-like condensate, why is it not spherical? We investigated whether mechanical interactions between a condensate and a fiber network can explain the variety of morphologies seen in phase-separated nuclear compartments www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
