معرفی
Jerelle A. Joseph is an Assistant Professor at Princeton University, affiliated with the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute. They also hold associated faculty roles in the Department of Chemistry, Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering, and the Biophysics Graduate Program.
Research Interests: The Joseph Group investigates the physicochemical principles governing biomolecular condensate formation, dissolution, and misregulation. Their work focuses on phase separation mechanisms, computational modeling of protein-RNA interactions, and engineering condensates for biomedical and sustainability applications, including therapeutic targeting of neurodegenerative diseases and design of synthetic microreactors.
Scientific Awards:
- NIGMS MIRA (R35) Award (2024)
- Biophysical Society Award Lecture (2024)
- Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Investigator (2023)
- Postdoctoral Award, Biophysical Society IDP Subgroup (2022)
- Rising Star in Soft and Biological Matter (University of Chicago, 2020)
Advising: Dr. Joseph advises graduate students including Ananya Chakravarti, Dominic Curtis, and Pablo Garcia. The group develops chemically-specific coarse-grained models using molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo sampling, and machine learning to study condensate microstructure, aging dynamics, and surface electrostatics.
