The project is focused on biomolecular condensates in complex systems, including cells, with an aim to develop methods and methodologies to investigate liquid-liquid phase separation in complex environments. A key challenge is to establish techniques capable of probing very small condensates, determining whether they are liquid or solid, and assessing whether they and undergo phase transitions over time. The methods should enable to quantify diffusion rates inside condensates, discriminate between associative from segregative phase separation, and identify the molecular factors governing these phenomena. A central open question concerns why condensates in cells appear to halt and not grow (Ostwald ripening and coalescence should be expected for liquid phases). What molecular factors limit the size of such condensates? The methods may include advanced optical and cryo-electron microscopy, scattering and diffusion-based methods.
