Exciting news! As of today, our group is part of SISSA in Trieste. Big THANK YOU to all current and past group members, collaborators and mentors and to @mpicbg for hosting us for 8 amazing years! If you are interested in joining us in Trieste, please get in touch! @Sissaschool

Very happy to share the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)

How do distant DNA loci come into contact to activate genes? Our paper combining live imaging 🔬& polymer physics 🧬 to answer this is out in @ScienceMagazine! We show how chromosome packing & diffusion determine pairwise dynamics & transcription 👉science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… 1/n

Congrats David!!
Our preprint on building a bottom-up synthetic multicellular community is up! 😄 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… See how we use cell-free expression of quorum sensing gene circuits in DIBs to make synthetic cells that communicate and have feedback loops! @DoraTang5 @zechnerlab @mpicbg

Thanks @Dmichiel1 @wendy_bickmore for highlighting in @MolecularCell cell.com/molecular-cell/full… our recent work science.org/doi/full/10.1126… visualizing a TAD-forming CTCF/cohesin loop in live cells and showing these structures to be dynamic, rare, and largely partially extruded.

A thing to copy is @mpicbg tutorial with PhD students and ECRs before a seminar. I had a great time with these outstanding scientists. Many thanks to @zechnerlab for the invitation and discussions. Near-zero carbon footprint and no jetlag added bonus.
