Research Projects (FY2023-2024)
Phase separation model with multiple degrees of freedom and its application to large scale genome organization
In this research project, we investigate the phase separation behavior
of chromatin polymers, where the focus is on the multiple degrees of
freedom present in the system. We first develop a basic statistical
physics approach to analyze the multi-component liquid-liquid phase
separation, and make use of the framework to understand the formation
of meso-scale chromatin organization in nucleus.
