Research
Our aim is to understand physical principles governing the organization of matter in living cells. Our research bridges length and time scales, from single protein complexes to phase separated condensates and seconds to millions of years. Work in the lab has led to discoveries about mechanisms of information processing for cell fate decisions to morphogenesis and biogenesis of subcellular structures.
