Can you engineer new capabilities into bacteria without genetic engineering?

Yes! - Check our new @PNASNews paper where we use artificial cells that communicate with bacteria!

We’ve been named as 1st in the UK and 2nd in the world by QS @worlduniranking!

This recognises Imperial as one of the best places to study, research, work and grow.

Thanks to everyone in our community for making this possible 💙

New paper out - we show how synthetic cells can be dried, stored & reactivated at the point of use. This helps overcome a key barrier to their use outside the lab, bringing SynCells a step closer to real-world applications. Well done to @Ignacio_Gispert! https://t.co/lpcyABrH3N

Check out our latest paper in @JACS_Au describing novel methods to measure actin biophysics using FLIM & show that actin binding influences SynCell membrane mechanics. Kudos to superstar PhD student @IonChemBio & collabs @KuimovaGroup + @NickBrooks22

[Rafael Lira @BiophysLira]

How is membrane fusion dependent on the mechanical properties of membranes? And does fusion depend on the (i) specific lipid composition or on the (ii) overal mesoscale properties?
Our recent study shows that the latter is the answer.

@SantiRCastillo I use "quick" for short duration and "rapid" for high rate/speed. With the volumes/amount of DNA I use things are rapid, but take 2 h, so a bit slow... 🧬🐌

📣 Quick reminder, Imperial GradBio Soc members! 🎓 Our 19th Oct meet-up 🗓 is near! Excited to kickstart the year with drinks 🥤, snacks 🍪 & more. Can't wait to see you all! 🧪🔬🎉 Let's make it epic! 💪🚀

[Brian Gallagher @bsgallagher]

I had a fascinating chat with @YuvalElani about his work creating increasingly life-like cells from scratch. He builds sophisticated architecture into them just like complex living cells have. Might highlight some bits later that didn’t make this post: https://t.co/363t5LJigF

Interested in non-conventional #lipidnanoparticles that could be used for next-gen vaccines? 💉🧬🔮

Go check @ColinMSPilks latest paper on how to generate them with #microfluidics!
