Wonderful write up on CPLC Co-director Zan Luthey-Schulten and collaborators’ work on modeling a minimal cell.

A Journey to the Center of Our Cells Biologists are discovering the true nature of cells—and learning to build their own.

Meet Afro-Latina Scientist Dr. Jessica Esquivel Dr. Jessica Esquivel isn't just extraordinary because of what she is capable of as an Afro-Latina astrophysicist — she's also extraordinary in her vulnerability and relatability. She's on a mission to break barriers in science and to show the humanity behind scientists.

Welcome to #BlackInPhysics week 2021 – Physics World Physics World celebrates the contributions of Black physicists with a series of essays published jointly with Physics Today

Congratulations to Paul Selvin on winning the 2022 Ignacio Tinoco Award from the Biophysical Society!

CPLC faculty Nigel Goldenfeld is still hard at work developing models to contain the COVID-19 pandemic in Illinois.

A third surge in Illinois? It’s a race between COVID-19 vaccinations and variants, and experts are concerned For the first time in months, COVID-19 cases are climbing again in Illinois. So is the percent of tests coming back positive. So are hospitalizations. All as vaccines are injected into tens of thousands of Illinoisans a day.
