Louise Jawerth Lab

Research in the Jawerth lab focuses on using principles from soft condensed matter physics to understand important biological materials.

Currently, we are investigating proteins that de-mix from solution to form small liquid-like droplets called protein condensates. More information about the group and current vacancies can be found on the Jawerth group website.
