Position still available

[Robinson Lab @LabRobinson]

We are hiring a PhD @EdinburghUni @SchoolOfEng_UoE to work on the bottom-up design and construction of synthetic cells using #microfluidics and #lipid membranes. Lab is based at the Institute for Bioengineering. #synbio https://t.co/dGtdjz8HF0
Please RT!

[Claudia Contini @ContiniClau]

💥First research paper from the lab is out in Small! 👉We show how thermally driven dynamic behaviors in #polymeric #vesicles create a versatile platform for synthetic cell applications. #SynCells #SoftMatter

New publication from the Rodriguez-Emmenegger Lab!

[Rodriguez-Emmenegger Lab @CREmmeneggerLab]

Thank @AdvPortfolio. This work features a new concept for vesicle-forming amphiphiles with two ingredients: (1) a comb topology that prohibits entanglement compared to traditional polymersomes, (2) intermolecular H-bonds that create elastic heterogeneities and faceting.

Spotlight on Patricia Bassereau, #SynCellEU community member
At the @institut_curie, she and her group work on cell membranes and their associated cellular functions. What drew her to this field and motivates her in her work? 5 things to know about her👇

Unlocking the potential of #syncell materials for real-world applications

A British-Japanese #research #collaboration has received £1m to improve the ability of cell-like systems mimicking key biological functions to maintain those functions over time

Congratulations to you all

[Prof Oscar Ces @Cesiboy1]

Really excited 2b working with @YuvalElani @jwhindley @DiMicheleLAB1 on energy management strategies for #syncells. great collaboration with colleagues in Japan funded by @BBSRC & JST. #synbio @ImperialSci #energy @SynCellEU @buildacell @BaCSouthAmerica https://t.co/d5sss7BLep
