- Reposted by Kyogo KawaguchiPublished in Science Advances! Looking forward to discussing the implications of our results and their applications with many researchers. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Thrilled to share our latest preprint on bioRxiv! 🎉 This collaboration with @kyogok.bsky.social and lab members, Kurumizaka lab(Kujirai-san in particular!) and Umehara lab sheds new light on how histone modification shapes chromatin architecture. 1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- To probe gene-scale chromatin physics, we built 96-mer (20 kb) arrays with defined histone marks. Combining single-molecule tracking, AFM imaging, and developing in vitro Hi-C, we saw how specific modifications dictate chromatin structure and dynamics. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Work led by @fukaity.bsky.social with support from many labs!
- Reposted by Kyogo KawaguchiI’ve released a tool to sketch and edit phylogenetic trees! yawak.jp/PhyloWeaver/ Load a Newick file and intuitively add/remove/resize branches. Useful for quick conceptual trees, extracting subtrees, or turning ideas into Newick.
- Call for a research scientist position (indefinite-term) in our group. Deadline: October 15 www.riken.jp/en/careers/r...
- Exciting new study from Iwasaki lab, led by Kotaro @ktomuro.bsky.social & Yuichi @u1-7no.bsky.social, that I was lucky to be part of! A new method reveals many mRNAs are locally translated. Too much for one tweet—check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

- Call for RIKEN ECL Team / Unit Leaders. In my (biased) opinion, this is probably the best option if you are seeking an independent position in Japan. I will be happy to chat/answer questions via email. www.riken.jp/en/careers/p...
- This is a bizarre discovery by Kyosuke. He introduces an active binary mixture model and finds bubbles, typically found in very large MIPS simulations, appearing in smaller setups. Then observes that even the mean-field deterministic ver. of the model also produces bubbles. arxiv.org/abs/2505.08637
- Congrats to our colleague Takahiro Kanazawa, who graduated with honors from U Tokyo Physics! www.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ja/info/10714/
- RIKEN SPDR fellowship, Register basic information by 5 pm April 3, 2025 (Japan Time). Application deadline 5 pm April 10, 2025 (Japan Time). Feel free to contact regarding this, or about opportunities in RIKEN and Japan in general.
- We can host Special Postdoctoral Researchers (SPDR) for FY 2026. This is one of the best postdoc positions you can find in Japan, comparable to departmental or institutional fellowships in the US or Europe. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested! www.riken.jp/en/careers/p...
- Reposted by Kyogo KawaguchiWhat is the multiscale structure of chromatin condensates? How does it shape thermodynamic and material properties? We address this at near-atomistic resolution🔥🔥🔥 using cryoET (Rosen & Villa labs, led by H Zhou), a new multiscale model (K Russell) and cryoET-guided sims (J Huertas & J Maristany)
- Exciting new preprint alert! 🚨 The Collepardo lab, teaming up with Huabin Zhou and the Rosen lab we took a deep, high-resolution look into chromatin condensates! [1/6] #Chromatin #MD @rcollepardo.bsky.social @juliamaristany.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Congratulations to Zihui, Sano-san, and the team on this interesting work! They found that +1 topological defects attract neural progenitors—an observation that seems at odds with expectations for an extensile active nematic. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- I feel like this post is becoming even more relevant for our early-career researcher friends in the US—unless it’s already too late. It doesn’t have to be our lab or RIKEN; if you’re interested in coming to Japan, I’m always happy to chat!

- Happy to see this published! This work was led by Takahiro (a talented undergrad@UTokyo) and Kyosuke (a transdisciplinary theoretician@RIKEN). Dynamical phase transitions can occur even for an equilibrium Brownian motion if the dimension is larger than 4. journals.aps.org/prresearch/a...
- Starting in April 2025, our RIKEN Hakubi Lab will transition to a Chief Scientist Lab, and we plan to move to Wako in 2026. My affiliation with the IPI, Department of Physics at The University of Tokyo, will continue as before.
