Funded Activity Summary

Regulating the composition of biomolecular condensates in living cells. Biomolecular condensation is a novel organising principle of living cells, driven by ‘unmixing’ of the cellular contents into compartments. It is observed from plants to animals and is involved in diverse processes from how cells repair DNA to how they perceive signals. This project aims to reveal how human cells control the composition of condensates, which is critical for their function. It expects to uncover new regulatory principles of cellular organisation by combining methods from quantitative cell biology and statistical physics. Expected benefits include building Australia’s capability in the potentially transformational field of biomolecular condensates, which has diverse future biotechnology applications in health and agriculture.
