Hyman Lab News
Read our reviews to learn about "Liquid-liquid phase separation in biology", "Are aberrant phase transitions a driver of cellular aging?", and "Biomolecular condensates: organizers of cellular biochemistry"
Everything you ever wanted to know about our current understanding of cytoplasmic organization by phase separation, from the physics behind it to the consequences for disease, in one comprehensive review
Welcome, Ceciel, our newest PhD student!
The Hyman Lab welcomes Ceciel Jegers, our newest PhD student. Ceciel comes to us from the Netherlands, and she will be working on phase transitions in cells and disease.
Congratulations to Shamba on his paper in Cell on the positioning of liquid-like compartments through an RNA competition mechanism. Plus - video abstract!
In a collaboration with the group of Frank Jülicher at the MPI-PKS, Shamba Saha and colleagues have discovered that an RNA-competition mechanism is at the heart of correct P granule positioning in C. elegans.
"No man is an island": an essay from the archives about the value of collaboration
In 1996, when Tony was a group leader at the EMBL, he wrote an essay for Current Biology entitled “No man is an island” on the importance of long-term collaboration and shared credit in science
An interview with Tony in "Lab Times", news magazine for the European Life Sciences
Read Tony’s interview with Lab Times, in which he discusses peer review, gender equality, open access, and more.
Goodbye, Jana!
We've bid a sad farewell to our intrepid intern, Jana Sipkova. Jana worked for a year with postdoc Shamba Saha, and she was a fantastic addition to the lab
