Postdoctoral researcher @isaacsiuwong.bsky.social in the @hymanlab.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de is 2026 Grass Fellow @grassfoundation.bsky.social @mblscience.bsky.social. 🎉 He will pursue his project “Dancing diatoms as a proto-neural model” at MBL for 14 weeks. www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

Our work on how oligomerization can enable selectively targeting intrinsic disorder with small molecules is now out in Science Advances: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). Congratulations Stase Bielskute and @borjaml.bsky.social and thanks to the collaborators and funders !

Condensates are powerful ways to break symmetry and cells do remarkable things with them. Here we show that in a multinucleate fungus, a condensate regulates translation of a cyclin and a formin in distinct locations. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share our first preprints from work originating at Cornell! Takumi's paper describes how small molecules shift phase equilibria of condensates by focusing on the dilute-phase response. It shows how metabolites may tune stability and material properties. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Here’s another condensate paper from the lab. We revisit biomolecular condensation—phase separation in protein suspensions—through the lens of critical phenomena. Kaarthik did excellent work characterizing mechanical properties and comparing their scaling behavior to the 3D Ising universality class.

Our second Cornell-era preprint is also out! Kaarthik's paper discusses the gap between cellular and in vitro condensates. In cells, condensates are low-contrast (small partition coefficients), enabling a wide range of responses. Congrats, Kaarthik and the team! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Partition Coefficients Reveal Changes in Properties of Low-Contrast Biomolecular Condensates https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.20.707107v1

Pablo’s work on “condensate Deborah numbers” is now out in #JCP!! Selected as Editor’s Pick and featured as a #Scilight pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/arti...

Many condensates can be described as active soft materials that generate molecular fluxes. Here we develop a new #nonequilibrium approach (TRACE) to study molecular transport through condensates! Work led by Yashraj Wani!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How does protein folding change inside biomolecular condensates? Our new preprint put forwards a framework for predicting this!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 work by the talented @nathanieldhess.bsky.social

I am very excited to share our pre-print that was just released on the bioRxiv entitled "Biomolecular Condensates Dictate the Folding Landscape of Proteins" doi.org/10.64898/202... Very grateful for @jerelleaj.bsky.social and the members of the Joseph Group for their support on this project! (1/4)
