[Publication!] Check out our most recent preprint led by @diffusiveblob lab and our biophysics PhD student Indrajit Badvaram: physical limits of membrane curvature sensing. arxiv.org/abs/2210.12204 Apply before Dec 1st for exciting biophysics research! biophysics.jhu.edu/graduate/…

Septin proteins (~tens of nm) binding to membrane-coated beads discriminate between micron-scale beads of different radii - even though the beads are 100s of times larger. How can proteins span these scales? New preprint from my group with ideas! Thread! arxiv.org/abs/2210.12204

Check out the latest Nature Comm. from department of biophysics. Isothermal DNA amplification up to 6 kb is achieved by engineered "super"-helicase. nature.com/articles/s41467-0… More info of research at Jenkins 👇 biophysics.jhu.edu/graduate/…

Isothermal DNA amplification up to 6 kb, led by @MomciloGavrilov ; can be used for cloning and chromosomal gene editing readout. A 3x faster superhelicase, characterized using nanopore and MD simulation (by Wen Ma), replaces thermocycler. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

If you want a PhD in biophysics - studying anything from protein folding to cell motility to membranes, to RNA dynamics - consider the Jenkins Biophysics program at Johns Hopkins. I have been on the admissions committee several years and am happy to talk about the program!
