Our latest paper in @NatureComms details how we can assemble complex protein decorated synthetic cells with asymmetric membrane domains that are able to deform and divide. Great work @nyandrapalli @EdinburghChemE @EdinburghUni @MpiciPotsdam #OpenAccess https://t.co/rg0j0FLX6Z

@amaia_cipitria @MariaCaffarel @MpiciPotsdam @unaiheras Where the paper?

[Robinson Lab @LabRobinson]

New paper in @BiophysJ ! Great collaboration with the Steinem lab, where we use microfluidics to trap giant lipid vesicles and analysis proton transport across membranes! https://t.co/PRFjS4eCEJ @uniGoettingen @EdinburghChemE @EdinburghUni #OpenAccess #microfluidics

@ChemistryTA @nicolepamme More for 3 month summer projects.

[Robinson Lab @LabRobinson]

Calling all microfluidics people! What are you experiences of undergrad lab projects using microfluidics? Any commercial teaching kit recommendations?

[Christian Nehls @chnehls]

Deadline 31.01.! Only few places left:

[Robinson Lab @LabRobinson]

Excited to announce that from Feb 2024 I will be joining @EdinburghUni as a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering @EdinburghChemE at the Institute of Bioengineering. Looking forward to working with you at Edinburgh and in the UK in general!

[Robinson Lab @LabRobinson]

Great to be a part of this collaboration!
