Very interesting work! Congrats SpruijtLab

It was an absolute pleasure and an honor to be on the PhD committee of Ariane Stucki from Bioanalytics Group at ETH Zürich led by Petra Dittrich! A big congrats to Ariane for a fabulous thesis! Plus, how could I miss a trip to beautiful Basel, my alma mater 🤩

Save the date! SynCell2022 will take place from 18 to 20 May 2022 in Delft.

Glad you liked it! Yeah, some really interesting work from my PhD student Ketan Ganar very excited to see how it evolves further...

Great to see OLA, an on-chip liposome production method that I developed with cees dekker - also at @ceesdekker.bsky.social being highlighted by Fluigent

Condensate-membrane interactions leading to vesicle reshaping! Looking amazing! Congratulations!

Check out our work on building biosensors using pretty liquid crystal droplets! We detect amphiphile-specific color response and even tested it in vivo! Fantastic work by @lwhonaker and special thanks to Sylvia Brugman for feeding zebrafish our sensors! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our January issue is online! Microbial soil inoculants (William L King), lab evolution on a chip (Siddharth Deshpande Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR), adipose tissue engineering (Khoon Lim Tim Woodfield), bioelectronic sensing (Anna Maria Pappa Dr Roisin Owens) and more: cell.com/trends/biotech…

Very happy to receive the NWO-XS grant! A nice end-of-the-year bonus for the lab and a great way to start the vacation! We want to sub-compartmentalize synthetic cells, which is not a bad idea I think 😉 Thank you NWO Domain Science (Inactive) nwo.nl/en/news/twenty…

A new twist on using the biopolymer actin and condensates to form biocompatible synthetic cell containers. A nice news article on the recent actinosome pre-print by Siddharth Deshpande and Ketan Ganar. drugdiscoverynews.com/researchers-us…

We are hiring!💡We're looking for a creative PhD student to join our #ERC SIMPHONICS team, focusing on #nanodevices and #nanopore platforms for single-molecule transport and detection. Interested? Apply here tinyurl.com/bdhw63j6 Please RT 🙂

Open Post-doc position in our group in Bordeaux ! Physical Assembly of Life-like systems Apply here: bit.ly/3BvrHrL #Emploi via @EmploiCnrs Synthetic Cell initiative MaxSynBio Université de Bordeaux CNRS Aquitaine FrontiersOfLifeBx

Really nice glimpse into our department!

We have a postdoc position available, on the exciting topic of condensates and phase separation! Great opportunity to work at Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter - WUR and the beautiful green campus of Wageningen! Feel free to email me for further details wur.nl/en/vacancy/pos… RT appreciated!

See below for a nice postdoc opportunity to do interdisciplinary research involving micro(scopy + fluidics + biome)!

Very happy to contribute to '3D-printed PDMS barriers for flexible flow control in paper microfluidics', now published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102… Congrats to the team and Chang Chen, currently doing a PhD with us! blue 0 barriers fast flow, red 6 barriers slow flow
