Sometimes I think Google Scholar just wants to mess with me... 🧪

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! go.bsky.app/RMF7jUK

💥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! 🧵
