Dr. Archishman Ghosh
I am an interdisciplinary scientist who resides at the interface between physicists and biologists. I am interested in a quantitative approach to biology and make courses and notes that make physical concepts easy to assimilate for biologists. I also develop mathematical models that describe biochemical reactions and phase separation dynamics. In this aspect my complementary toolboxes are thermodynamics and kinetics and my queries involve minimal synthetic biological systems.

Dr. Naresh Yandrapalli
I’m fascinated by life’s complexity, but instead of just studying cells, I build them! Using droplet-microfluidics and synthetic biology, I design minimal systems to tackle big questions—like how gene variability works and how lipid membranes shape cellular functions. It’s like reverse-engineering life, one droplet at a time!

Dr. Daniele Rossetto
From chaos to order, how did life came to be?
I am captivated by the transition from simple molecules to life’s complexity and develop methods to explore the selective pressures that shaped the emergence of early compartments from complex prebiotic mixtures.
I also design 3D-printed labware to improve lab workflows and cut costs.

Zhangfan Li
My research focuses on compartmentalization in biochemical systems, particularly how molecular heterogeneity influences the properties of coacervates and their role in regulating reaction dynamics and evolution. Using microfluidics, fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, and biophysical techniques, I investigate how coacervates function as biomimetic compartments, providing insights into self-organization, prebiotic chemistry, and evolutionary processes.

Tomoki Maruyama
Since my undergraduate days, I have been fascinated by the beauty of molecular self-assembly, where molecules interact and spontaneously form designed structures. Currently, I apply the principles of molecular self-assembly to synthetic biology, constructing life-like systems from scratch and studying how to control their functionality. In particular, I am interested in creating synthetic metabolons using complex coacervates.

I wonder how the reactions are maintained out of equilibrium in the cells. I am using cell-free expression system to study phase separating proteins and effect of compartmentalisation.
