DESCRIPTION:Cells organize many of their biochemical reactions by formatio
 n and dissolution of non-membrane-bound compartments. Recent experiments s
 how that one common mechanism for such biochemical organization is phase s
 eparation of disordered proteins to form liquid-like compartments.  These 
 compartments can subsequently harden to form compartments with new materia
 l properties such as gels and glasses. These compartments can be described
  by principles elucidated from condensed-matter physics and are therefore 
 termed biomolecular condensates.  I will discuss potential roles of phase 
 separation in organization and robustness of cellular biochemistry and the
  role of aberrant phase separation in disease.
