We are thrilled to start work on two new projects supported by the Human Frontier Science Program! Melissa received a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship from HFSP to study non-equilibrium phase separation. The group also received a Human Frontier Science Program research grant to support a collaborative project studying “origin of life” with the Wang Lab at UNSW and the Kuruma Lab at JAMSTEC. We are grateful for the financial support of HFSP and are excited to get to work once our lab reopens!
