Science is also art! Please enjoy the collaboration of our work with Vincent Van Gogh in this reinterpretation of Starry Night starring our programmable reaction-diffusion system.
16 Nov 2022
Our first preprint is out! Led by Rohith Rajasekaran (@born2raisecell): “A programmable reaction-diffusion system for spatiotemporal cell signaling circuit design”
A visually stunning toolkit to build cellular radios that probe or control cell biology.

I discuss the urgent crisis from the loss of federal support of science in the US and recent clinical gene editing breakthroughs with @WalterIsaacson & @amanpour on @AmanpourCoPBS, airing on @PBS tonight at 11 pm ET, and on @cnni earlier today. Pls share!

Last night I was honored to receive the 2025 #BreakthroughPrize in the Life Sciences, reflecting the efforts of many students, collaborators, doctors, and patients in labs around the world. I hope this 4-minute excerpt can inspire when science needs public support more than ever.

My first grad school paper is on BioRxiv! Working in @CellRaiser_’s lab, I applied the MinDE protein oscillator for precision tuning in budding yeast.

The future is now! We provide the foundation for complex protein-based FM circuit design in living cells. This is only the beginning, please look forward to more. We are eager to share our tools with the community.

Thrilled to be part of this subgroup and talk about how predatory ciliates tune their sub cellular morphology dynamically to control their hunting behaviors. Can’t wait to listen to all the cool science from these 🌟presenters!! #CellBio2024
14 Dec 2024
Very excited to co-host an ASCB subgroup tomorrow on ‘Biological Size Control and Scaling’ with Hui Chen and Jan Skotheim. @hui_chen2 @janskotheim. #CellBio24. Sat Dec 14, from 9:30-11am in Rm 29C. Come with questions and hear about the amazing work from our presenters! @jonasbcremer @MaggieXzj @UmaleSaransh @sandhya_manohar

I'm thrilled to share my first project in @CellRaiser_ 🤩we found that MTs-assembly can be tuned at both MTBD and condensates. This project highlights my past(microtubule), present(SynBio), and future(LLPS): doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2024.1…
