I'm #hiring a PhD student! Join the Lindeboom Lab at the The Netherlands Cancer Institute on an exciting project to explore oncogenic transcription factor binding kinetics and biophysics using state-of-the-art technologies! Apply now or share this exciting opportunity! nki.nl/careers-study/…

We are thrilled to present our latest paper in ACS Central Science, in which we demonstrate how communication between liposome artificial cells leads to the dynamic spatiotemporal organization of compartmentalized DNA. Toni Llopis Lorente, PhD. van Hest Lab pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I updated our webpage for openings at our #CDlab: ceesdekkerlab.nl/come-join-us/ So feel free to apply if you are an ambitious young scientist interested in doing a postdoc (or PhD) in our biophysics lab! RT=nice!

Now in Nature Communications : Measuring the burden of hundreds of BioBricks defines an evolutionary limit on constructability in synthetic biology doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be defending my PhD next Wednesday (Oct 2nd)! If you're interested in molecular evolution and gene regulation and would like to join via Zoom, feel free to PM me for the link 😃

We are excited to share our new study led by @SarSarela (now GL ITQB NOVA) & Michael Kuhn! By comparing the effects of 30 drugs on a 32-species synthetic community and community members in isolation, communal behaviors emerged in 26% of all cases! Link: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

This is everything. In 2006, students from Xavier High School in NYC sent Kurt Vonnegut five letters asking the writer to visit their class. What he wrote back is one of the best things ever:

An absolutely bonkers stat from this Nature article on Nobel Prize winners. "702 out of 736 researchers who have won science and economics prizes up to 2023 are part of the same academic family" nature.com/immersive/d415…

Preprint from our #optogenetics team: novel photoswitch that allows an up to 400-fold induction of target gene expression by blue light! Perfectly suited to express biotherapeutics! Great collaboration Institute of Innate Immunity Möglich Lab #ningaloobiosystems biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Thanks for assembling this collection Daniel Schindler ! In our Chapter 15 you find methods to clone cost effective libraries with #oligopools and #GoldenGate by Alicia Maciá Valero Rianne Prins and Thijs de Vroet 🧬🧬🧬

Did you know that bacteria remember their past for many generations? In this new preprint from us (Alexis Villani and Senen Mendoza) and Banin lab (Esther Shmidov ), we reveal the "how?" and "why?" underlying a long-standing mystery in bacterial memory. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My take on scientists leaving Twitter/X: It's great to see communities really developing on other platforms and there are lots of good reasons to boycott this place... 1/n
