Our manuscript on self-sustain protocells is now in its final form. Happy reading!

Check out our recent article Angewandte Chemie on photocatalytic amide synthesis! Our innovative COF-mediated method uses red light irradiation at room temp, delivering excellent yields & broad substrate tolerance. Great collaboration with Prof. Debashis Adhikari from IISER Mohali.

Congratulations ARTI SHARMA , Babis Pappas and everyone 🎊

Thank you so much Babis Babis Pappas, for the support and guidance throughout this incredible journey!

We are hiring a motivated postdoc at the University of Freiburg for a Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation-funded project on chemical reaction networks and dynamic self-assembly. 📄 Position ad: bit.ly/4jAIrmg 📅 Deadline: May 31, 2025 ℹ️ More info: pappasresearchgroup.com

We are very happy to share our recent publication in Chem on abiotic aminoacylation and side chain recognition through compartmentalization! Congrats to kun Dai and Lenard, and everyone else involved in the work! cell.com/action/showPdf…

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Mahesh Pol to the Winssinger Lab! He started earlier this month and is already settling in—looking forward to the great science ahead!

Last week we had our traditional summer lab outing! We hiked near La Dôle and enjoyed some incredible views. Afterwards, we headed to Barilette for a well-earned lunch—fondue included, of course. 😄🧀 Such a fun day out with the team!

We are happy to share that our article on chirality-driven non-equilibrium assembly is now published in Angewandte Chemie ! 🎉Congrats to Lenard and Kun for showing how left and right handed aminoacyl phosphates enable control over kinetics and pathways. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
