Prof. Susana Rocha (Rocha Lab) from the KU Leuven is one of our excellent invited speakers at this year's Single Molecule Workshop. She will talk about "Imaging Cellular Forces: From Micro to the Nano Scale". ➡️ Register by Sept. 6: picoquant.com/events/detail/… Our annual

Nano-Enhanced Hydrogels for Probing Cellular Mechanotransduction Rocha Lab Are you interested in an interdisciplinary PhD? Join us to explore dynamic cell-ECM interactions using advanced microscopy and nanoparticles! jobrxiv.org/job/ku-leuven-… #biophys... jobrxiv.org/job/ku-leuven-…

Thrilled to announce our team is growing again with the addition of Charlotte Cresens as our new SR-expert. Welcome Charlotte! #vib #cbd #bic

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend #MAF2024, but the Rocha Lab is well represented! Curious about our work? Make sure to connect with Steven Huysecom, Maria Bravo, Sarah Vorsselmans, Guillermo Solis-Fernandez, Sandra Krzyzowska, and Sam.

It’s now the turn of Hofkens Lab at #MAF2024: “The power of One”. Impressive to see how many different things can be done with fluorescence microscopy! MAF 2024

🎉Celebrating 5 incredible years with an unstoppable team! 🚀 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who’s been a part of this journey —your hard work and passion have shaped our success. I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved together, and I can’t wait for what’s next! Let’s keep going!💪

🚨Exciting news, our latest paper in ACS Nano explores the world of optical matter of hybrid metal–dielectric nanoparticles. Collaboration with BioNanoPlasmonicsLab ,Hofkens Lab, Rdbuscalioni, Rocha Lab, Fastcomet_pathfinder🔬Read it here: doi.org/10.1021/acsnan… #OpticalMatter #OpenAccess

Lab life = science, fun, and cake! 🎂🥳 Nina Anseeuw outdid herself with this lab-logo masterpiece for her birthday. Starting 2025 on a sweet note with science and great vibes!  Here’s to more good times (and good science)! 🔬✨ #LabLife #Happy2025

How do cells translate molecular forces into mechanical actions? 🧬🔬💪 Our new research combines Traction Force Microscopy (TFM) with FRET-based tension sensors to uncover how focal adhesions manage vinculin tension and cellular traction. Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What if tweaking nanoparticles isn’t enough to improve nanomedicine?🧐Our latest work shows that tumor biology—not just particle design—affects nanoparticle behavior. Same particles, different tumors, completely different outcomes.🤯Curious? Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
