📢Excited to share our new paper in @NaturePhysics : Cooperative hydrodynamics accompany multicellular-like colonial organization in the unicellular ciliate Stentor! How do single-celled organisms benefit from teamwork? Let’s dive in! #Multicellularity https://t.co/qtt3HTDjVx?

Congratulations to my friend Saravanan on being named an EMBO Global Investigator! A truly well-deserved recognition for an incredibly smart, creative, and—above all—persistent scientist. Proud of you! @iiscbangalore @syncellbiolab

Calling all #MotorsInQuarantine fans: Please join us for 1.5 days of science on motors and the cytoskeleton as we celebrate the career of @_robx. More info snd sign-up here: https://t.co/bz2BR2GVvt #kinesin #dynein #myosin #microtubules #actin #cytoskeleton

Glad to see this research highlight in @NatureInd on our recent work. The current 2.3.4.4b clade #H5N1 is unusual and spreading rapidly in mammals and shows human adapting potential, a #OneHealth concern, needs more attention.

I’m thrilled to share that our latest work, led by PhD scholar @_Das_Priyanka, is published in @embojournal! Using a bacterial mutant library screen, we identified that bacterial-induced ROS extends C. elegans lifespan by disrupting its iron homeostasis.

Come be my colleague at @univmiami! 😃 We’re hiring a TT Assistant Professor in Theoretical or Computational Biological Physics — join our growing biophysics community in sunny Miami ☀️ Apply by Dec 15 🔗 https://t.co/xAmsaA7myc #PhysicsJobs #Biophysics #TheoreticalPhysics

Last Thursday evening, I was honored to give the keynote at @FrostScience's annual fundraiser!😀 Celebrating Leonardo da Vinci — 500 Years of Genius, I spoke about how curiosity, imagination, and creativity drive both art & science—even in the age of AI. #FrostScience #DaVinci500

My friend (and a collaborator!) Saravanan just made it to the cover of EMBO Journal!!

GCBA Seminar Series announces Qing Tang, PhD, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Department of Biochemistry presenting "Insight into Cytoskeleton Regulation at Nanoscale in Cells" @UNMC_GCBA @UNMC_BISB

Our new collaborative paper with @CyndiBradham's lab at BU, led by first author @Alex_T_Lion is out in @Dev_Bio_Journal & featured on Sept 2025 cover! 🥳😃 Proud of our @univmiami contributions!! PFAS (PFOA & GenX) disrupt sea urchin embryo development! https://t.co/mhjW11pKl8

Excited to begin a new chapter as an Independent Junior Group Leader at the Institute of Biochemistry, @goetheuni Frankfurt!! My research group will focus on bottom-up synthetic immunology, optogenetics. Looking forward to exploring new ideas, collaborations, and discoveries!!!

Most importantly: first author @anubhav_dhar is looking for postdoc opportunities! 🚀 It would be a HUGE mistake not to hire him.

And yes — this paper is also a textbook case of persistence, but we got there. Ask me or @syncellbiolab the full story over a round of beers 🍻

4/ This reveals functional redundancy between paralogs — a failsafe safeguard system for the cytoskeleton. Read the full story here! https://t.co/Zl2FJBctuW

3/ Even more surprising: the “minor” isoform Tpm2 can fully substitute for Tpm1 when expressed at higher levels, ensuring robust actin cable function under stress. @BiswasSudipta18 confirmed this using in vitro single-filament imaging.

2/ Using functional fluorescent Tpm fusions, we discovered that Tpm1 & Tpm2 colocalize on actin cables and don’t sort by formin type — overturning the classic “Tpm–formin pairing” model.

1/ 🚨 New paper in @PLOSGenetics led by @syncellbiolab and first author @anubhav_dhar! Together, we challenged a long-standing idea about how yeast tropomyosins (Tpm1 & Tpm2) organize the actin “highways” inside cells. @iiscbangalore @EmoryUniversity

Super excited to share that our work on Tropomyosin isoforms in yeast is now published in @PLOSGenetics ( https://t.co/8Ob5KT5hER). Grateful to @syncellbiolab for his constant support and @sshekhr for the amazing collab. Huge thanks to all my co-authors expecially @Bagyashree8
