Hi Bluesky! Excited to join the community :)! As a brief intro, I'm a theoretical biophysicist wrapping up her PhD at VU Amsterdam. My work has focused on how loop-extruding motor proteins affect bacterial chromosome segregation doi.org/10.1038/s414...
and organization doi.org/10.1101/2024...
Loop-extruders alter bacterial chromosome topology to direct entropic forces for segregation - Nature Communications
Bacterial chromosomes segregate while undergoing replication. Here the authors show that such concurrent replication and segregation cannot be achieved by passive entropic forces alone, and that loop-...

Starting a theoretical biophysics starter pack, feel free to (self-) nominate, I’ll keep updating this in the next days/weeks!

💥Beyond happy 💥 Our work is now published in PNAS!
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

With Gloria Canales & @mazi1.bsky.social we studied how the single celled alga Pyrocystis lunula 🌙 move their chloroplast in response to strong light.

Get ready for some fun mechanics, signals and organelle motion! 🧵
