Science is also art! Please enjoy the collaboration of our work with Vincent Van Gogh in this reinterpretation of Starry Night starring our programmable reaction-diffusion system.
Our first preprint is out! Led by Rohith Rajasekaran (@born2raisecell): “A programmable reaction-diffusion system for spatiotemporal cell signaling circuit design”
A visually stunning toolkit to build cellular radios that probe or control cell biology.

Excited to share our new bioRxiv preprint!
We introduce RIPPLE, a synthetic platform that couples reaction–diffusion circuits with protein condensation to generate tunable sub-cellular architectures.
I’m deeply grateful to @MaggieXzj and @CellRaiser_ for their mentorship, collaboration, and support throughout this project. It has been a long but incredibly rewarding journey.

Honored to receive the fellowship from @UWMadisonCALS! Thanks to @CellRaiser_ and @UWBiochem for supporting me for this fellowship.
Congratulations to Rohith Rajasekaran, who was awarded a @UWMadisonCALS Distinguished Graduate Fellowship. In the @CellRaiser_ Lab, Rajasekaran focuses on the MinDE reaction-diffusion system. Read more: biochem.wisc.edu/2025/06/12/…

I discuss the urgent crisis from the loss of federal support of science in the US and recent clinical gene editing breakthroughs with @WalterIsaacson & @amanpour on @AmanpourCoPBS, airing on @PBS tonight at 11 pm ET, and on @cnni earlier today. Pls share!

Last night I was honored to receive the 2025 #BreakthroughPrize in the Life Sciences, reflecting the efforts of many students, collaborators, doctors, and patients in labs around the world. I hope this 4-minute excerpt can inspire when science needs public support more than ever.

My first grad school paper is on BioRxiv! Working in @CellRaiser_’s lab, I applied the MinDE protein oscillator for precision tuning in budding yeast.

Deeply inspired by so many cool science and have a huge blast of fun with the Biological Size Control & Scaling family! Thank you so much for all the organizers and look forwards to the ongoing talks and posters at #CellBio2024!
Followup. Great end to our first day at #CellBio2024 in San Diego: delicious dinner with our speakers! Cheers to new friends

Thrilled to be part of this subgroup and talk about how predatory ciliates tune their sub cellular morphology dynamically to control their hunting behaviors. Can’t wait to listen to all the cool science from these 🌟presenters!! #CellBio2024
Very excited to co-host an ASCB subgroup tomorrow on ‘Biological Size Control and Scaling’ with Hui Chen and Jan Skotheim. @hui_chen2 @janskotheim. #CellBio24. Sat Dec 14, from 9:30-11am in Rm 29C. Come with questions and hear about the amazing work from our presenters! @jonasbcremer @MaggieXzj @UmaleSaransh @sandhya_manohar

Excited to share a new paper from the super creative and talented @EdenChang_! Eden engineered droplet-forming sequences to act as regulatable glues for stitching microtubules together inside living cells 🧫🧪
I'm thrilled to share my first project in @CellRaiser_ 🤩we found that MTs-assembly can be tuned at both MTBD and condensates. This project highlights my past(microtubule), present(SynBio), and future(LLPS): doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2024.1…
