A big congratulations to Tanya Nesterova who was recently awarded an NSF GRFP fellowship! In Dr. Jian Liu’s lab, Tanya writes Brownian dynamics simulations to determine how different proteins spatiotemporally regulate bacterial cell division. This computational modelling is performed in synergy with experimental collaborations from Dr. Jie Xiao’s lab. The Xiao lab performs single molecule […]
