Saehyun Choi Assistant Professor
Department of Chemistry & Nanoscience
Our research is at the intersection of traditional physical chemistry and emerging biological questions. We apply principles of statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, soft matter physics, and chemical kinetics—foundational to physical chemistry—to understand the behavior of biomolecular condensates, a new class of cellular compartments. The central idea is to discover new biology enabled by protein phase transition condensation in biological processes, such as RNA equilibria or signal transduction, and apply it to develop a new synthetic system. My research program has the potential to provide new insights into RNA biology and cellular signaling and may offer novel platforms for high-throughput drug screening and molecular medicine.
