Koslover Group UCSD

The deadline for #EESTCBio is fast approaching, so make sure to submit your abstract soon! ⏰ ➡️ s.embl.org/ees25-03-x If you're interested in finding ways to transform the ever-increasing amount of factual knowledge produced by biological research into conceptual knowledge, be sure to join the 2nd edition of the EMBO | EMBL Symposium 'Theory and concepts in biology' 🦬🧬 The abstract submission deadline is 11 February.

A blog post from CZI highlighting Zuben's paper on modeling the ER as a liquid network: czbiohub.org/life-science/a…

The latest paper from our group explores how the distribution of mitochondria in the branched tree structures of neuronal dendrites is governed by fusion, fission, and transport. Congratulations to Mario on the publication! journals.aps.org/prresearch/abs…

For fans of the endoplasmic reticulum and / or emergent active structures, Zuben's paper on the ER as a liquid network structure is now out in PNAS. Couldn't have done it without the awesome imaging data from the Westrate group. Congrats to Zuben et al! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Keaton's paper detailing how mitochondrial network structures emerge from local interactions is now out in PRX Life! journals.aps.org/prxlife/abstra…

Invited talks by Michael Shelley (@Michael80429772) and Senthil Arumugam (@dopaminator). Session organizers: @koslovergroup, @ajay_gopinathan, @RayChang0612. Submit abstracts to session #04.01.04: summit.aps.org/attend/sorting…

Interested in how cells transport signals and material among their own compartments or to other cells? Join us at the 2025 APS March Meeting Focus Session on Intra- and inter-cellular transport! Abstracts due Oct 25.

Are you an undergraduate interested in pursuing graduate studies biological physics? Join us for a virtual panel “Applying to Graduate School in Biophysics” with panelists who have been on both sides of the application process! Oct. 3 at 3pm ET. Register: apsphysics.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

‼️🚨🔔Reminder that the deadline for signing up to our ER session at #cellbio2024 #ASCBEMBO closes on 6th August! Submit your abstracts before then! Details below…

Together with @AvezovL and @AbellJonny we're excited to organize a session at #cellbio2024 #ASCBEMBO on the endoplasmic reticulum across cell types. If you're interested in structure and functions of the ER, please submit your abstract (deadline Aug 6🔬) ascb.org/cellbio2024/pr…

🚨With @AbellJonny & @Kosloverlab we are excited to organise  “The Endoplasmic Reticulum Structure and Function Across Cell Types” session at #cellbio2024 #ASCBEMBO! If you are interested in ER, its cellular functions, send us your abstracts by Aug 6🔬 ascb.org/cellbio2024/pr…

Our work on the interplay of ER structure and calcium release is now out in PNAS. This is a synthesis of physical modeling and in vivo measurements in collaboration with @AvezovL. Congratulations to lead author @CecileCrapart ! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Happy to share a new preprint from our group (in collaboration with @SulianaManley). Keaton's manuscript explores how dynamic mitochondrial network structures emerge from a combination of fusion, fission, transport, and mechanical constraints: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you're in Minneapolis on Sunday March 3, come to the Squishy Science fair -- fun science for all ages, free and open to the public. The Koslover group will be running interactive activities exploring intracellular transport, with dice, skittles, and HexBugs!

Interested in intracellular transport and organization? Come join us (@koslovergroup & @ajay_gopinathan) at the APS March Meeting Focus Session (#04.01.04 march.aps.org)! Invited talks by Veronica Ciocanel (@v_ciocanel) & William Hancock. Abstracts due Oct 20.

An exploration of protein motion through the complex network structure of the endoplasmic reticulum, bringing together mathematical modeling by Zuben Scott and live-cell imaging by the Westrate group (@LWestrate): sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A product of symbiosis between theoretical physics from @koslovergroup and our experimental cell bio by @CecileCrapart & friends: A closed cycle of Ca2+ dynamics simulations -> in-cell measurements -> feed the model -> predict behaviour -> test in-cell -> improved model...

Interested in intracellular transport? Come join us (@koslovergroup & @ajay_gopinathan) at the APS March Meeting Focus Session (#04.01.05 march.aps.org)! Invited talks by Melike Lakadamyali (@Melike_Lak) & Adriana Dawes(@DawesLab). Abstracts due Oct 20.

Happy to share the work of a pair of undergraduate students (Mike Sun and Larry Yu) from the Koslover group, "Unraveling trajectories of diffusive particles on networks", in collaboration with Dr. Christopher Obara at Janelia. journals.aps.org/prresearch/abs…

Congratulations to newly-minted Dr. Anamika Agrawal on her successful thesis defense! PhD #2 from the Koslover group.
