We are hiring! Please consider a PhD in a four year running multi-disciplinary team effort.... with winter schools, monthly meetings - and state of the art lab projects on how Life could have emerged on the early Earth/other planets. Details: portal.graduatecenter.uni-muenchen.de/ocgc/crc392

Interested in how chemical reactions are regulated by condensates? We derived a general theoretical framework when reacting clients are diluted and scaffolds phase separate. Great collaboration with Sudarshana Laha MPI-PKS Dresden Thomas Michaels Preprint see: arxiv.org/abs/2403.05228

Together with Statistical Physics of Life - Sharma Group, TPII earned second place in the Physics Institute Cup at Universität Augsburg ⚽️🥅

@susanne_liese gave an amazing talk in the physics colloquium today at Universität Augsburg! 👏🏻

We are looking for two #postdocs to join us: 1) European Research Council (ERC) funded position in the context of RNA origami, cryoEM, synthetic cells, directed evolution; 2) A position in the excellence cluster 3D Matter Made to Order at the interface of chemistry & biology. Please share and get in touch!

Our paper on the interplay between phase separation and biomolecular assembly has been brought to eLife - the journal! elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… Thanks Ivar Svalheim Haugerud, Mesoscopic Physics of Life (MPol) - Weber Group and Thomas Michaels! Video: the volume fraction of assemblies of size i evolve in two coexisting phases

Thanks a lot for having me at Harvard Applied Math and Engineering. I enjoyed my talk, the interactions with colleagues and friends, and the meetings with group members from Soft Math Lab

The second day of the MOM24 has just started and we're looking forward to many great talks today.☀️

And with that the #MOM24 comes to an end. Thanks again to all the speakers and students that presented their work here. It was a pleasure to have you here and we hope to see you again next year! 🧬🎉

Another year, another #MOM24. Thanks for a great conference!

We are happy to have presented our work at the MOM2024! Thanks for all the engaging discussions and for my students who have presented their work during the poster session. 🧬 🎉 Molecular Evolution in Prebiotic Environments

Happy to highlight the work of Judit Sastre and Advait Thatte from the Mesoscopic Physics of Life (MPol) - Weber Group! We found spontaneous oscillations in synthetic cells. When continuously supplied with chemical fuel, the number of organelles and their location start oscillating. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What sets the size of active droplets? Which factors affect their ripening and facilitate division? Why is Jonathan so smart? In a project with @jona_baue himself, the Mesoscopic Physics of Life (MPol) - Weber Group Frank Jülicher and Job Boekhoven we delve into these profound questions arxiv.org/abs/2409.03629

RT appreciated: My lab is recruiting several Ph.D.s and Postdocs excited to build synthetic cells that undergo Darwinian evolution. The backgrounds that we need for include biochemistry, synthetic biology, and systems chemistry. Details: boekhovenlab.com/openings/

Meet our newest editor! 👋 Christopher Weber is a professor at Universität Augsburg, where he leads Mesoscopic Physics of Life (MPol) - Weber Group in the developing theories for intracellular organization and the molecular origin of life. He will handle manuscripts on these topics as well as biomolecular condensates.
