Thanks to the ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology for inviting me to deliver a keynote address at the 2026 QUBIC Symposium to be held in Geelong, Australia, Nov 23-26. I am looking forward to it!

SPIE Optics and Photonic meeting in San Diego with Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop. Her fundamental 1998 Nature paper on the Optical alignment and spinning of laser-trapped microscopic particles inspired me as an independent junior investigator. @ClemsonScience @halina_physics

Excellent conference! Many thnaks to the Organizers and Advisory Board!

The inaugural CleMBIO symposium @ClemsonScience was an exciting event, full of great talks by invited speakers and presentations by talented students and postdocs. We are looking forward to next year!

We are looking forward to hosting the inaugural Clemson Medical Biophysics (CleMBIO) Symposium this Friday, April 17th featuring an exceptional list of speakers!

The manuscript, resulting from Prof. Suleyman Ucuncuoglu's visit to our group, is now available on Research Square (lnkd.in/grBasGmj) and under review. It describes the development of a simple fluorescence-based assay to follow in vitro transcription in real-time.

Sheng Liu, Lucy Hayes, Kamal Bhandari, Pitambar Poudel, Ritika Gupta, Hugo Sanabria, and Anay Lazaro-Alfaro attended the Biophysical Society annual meeting in San Francisco. Pitambar, Ritika, and Anay won a BPS travel award. Go Tigers!!!!!!!

Farewell to Narendar, who will start as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal Biology, School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad, India!

End of semester MBIO party!

We welcome Kayla Felner, raising sophomore from GATech, who joined our group as an NSF REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) student. Kayla is an exceptional student with interests in Chemical engineering and Biophysics. @ClemsonScience

Suleyman presented his work at the Clemson University Center for Human Genetics Summer Symposium #ClemsonUniversityCollegeofScience @ClemsonPandA. Thank you to Trudy McKay and Robert Anholt for organizing!

Congratulations Jason on your award! Jason will join the graduate program @PandaClemson this fall and we are looking forward to having him as part of our community @ClemsonScience Jason comes from the Paramanathan group.

Our new article #ClemsonScience is published on line doi:10.1017/qrd.2025.8

Ritika and Narendar presented their work on condensates and DNA phase transitions, respectively, at the Clemson University 2025 postdoctoral Symposium. A rich opportunity to learn about all kinds of cool science and exchange ideas!
