🧵 Our new paper is out today in molecularcell.bsky.social! After 7 years of a truly intriguing discovery journey, we can finally share what controls how molecules move inside living E. coli cells. Spoiler: it's not what the field thought. A thread 👇 📄 doi.org/10.1016/j.molcel.2026.03.018

Always assumed Michaelis & Menten were two guys; turns out Menten was a badass woman and is my new academic crush! Wikipedia: “She played the clarinet, created paintings worthy of art exhibitions, climbed mountains, went on an Arctic expedition, enjoyed astronomy, […] had mastered several languages”

I have a PhD position available in my lab at the University of Freiburg!! If you, or someone you know, might be looking for a position using modeling and simulations to uncover secrets in (glyco-)protein structure/function relationships please take a look at our website! www.kearnslab.org

Beautiful picture looking out of the chemistry building at the University of Freiburg in Freiburg Germany. The old cathedral can be seen in the distance with a backdrop of a blue sky with clouds and distant foothills of the black forrest with fall colors showing through in the trees

picture of the Münster at dawn in the Altstadt of Freiburg, Germany, with a still dark sky in the background and moon over the Münster, in the foreground a well-lit flowers stand can be seen preparing for the daily morning market

New review on computational design of intrinsically disordered proteins 🖥️🍝 by @giuliotesei.bsky.social @fpesce.bsky.social & 👴 doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Figure 3 from the paper with the caption: "Role of machine learning in de novo design of IDRs. (A) Machine-learning models can be trained on diverse data sources, from molecular dynamics simulations to annotations of cellular localization and protein structures from the Protein Data Bank. (B) Often implemented as neural networks using sequence-encoded features as input, these models can initially be trained on a limited region of sequence space as surrogate models. Through active learning, additional simulations are performed during the design campaign to generate new data, and the surrogate model is retrained on the expanded dataset to progressively improve its accuracy. (C) Machine-learning models have been developed to predict biophysical observables, biological annotations, and protein structures. When combined, machine-learning models can be used to identify a set of sequences that strike a trade-off between multiple design objectives, defining a Pareto front."

Now that I am finishing my PhD and looking for a 'real' job (because apparently academia doesn't count as experience), let me complain about HR people. 1. In what world PhD doesn't count as experience? You work 8 hours in the lab, with 'real' projects and people. Sometimes even more than 8 hours...
