Excited we have two new papers out on the self-assembly and remodeling dynamics of the HIV Gag lattice in @biophysJ and @eLife ! Both papers combine reaction-diffusion modeling with theory and experiment doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… authors.elsevier.com/a/1hPKi1SPT42g-

Here's our 'Current Opinion' with @FuYiben on Modeling how protein assemblies remodel membranes: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gG4x,LqArMO… part of a special issue edited by @VothGroup

@AlexSodt Wow, what a good way to keep others six feet away!

@Mejohnson81 Congratulations!

Excited to receive news of official approval of my tenure and promotion at Johns Hopkins! Thankful for all the mentoring and support from colleagues here and elsewhere, and to all my students and postdocs who are so essential to our lab's research.

@AniChattaraj Congratulations! Big day!

Convocation moments. #uconn #graduation #PhD All thanks to my amazing mentor! It has been lifetime honor and privilege.

Our paper is out in J Chem Phys: Speed limits of protein assembly with reversible membrane localization. We show how and when assembly can be much faster on membranes despite slower diffusion, thanks to postdoc Bhavya Mishra for leading this!! aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.…

In this new preprint, we use a continuum membrane model to predict how insertion of amphipathic helices drives preferential binding to curved membranes. from super post-doc @FuYiben and expert collabs @ZenoResearch and @StachowiakLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new paper: A continuum membrane model predicts curvature sensing by helix insertion.Thanks to my PI Prof Margaret Johnson and our collaborators Prof Jeanne Stachowiak and Prof Wade Zeno! And also thanks to Dr Alexander Sodt and Prof Brian Camley. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In a new preprint, we show that clathrin-coated structures formed on membranes will spontaneously disassemble without sufficient adaptor proteins. Thanks to my awesome postdoc Sikao Guo and membraneExpert @AlexSodt biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
