Biosoft/Koenderink Lab

Our lab is fascinated by the material properties of the biological soft matter that shapes our bodies: living cells and tissues.

February 2024 is TU Delft Health Maand, and several health researchers including Gijsje Koenderink and her team with their work on the role of mechanical forces in disease were filmed in the lab.

In this study led by Lucia Baldauf we established a robust method to reconstitute vesicles with an actin cortex and – by pairing with theory by @sciFelixFrey and @TimonIdema - discovered that branched actin preferentially assembles at membrane necks! https://t.co/duiSjcOYIq

Current biomaterials are mainly made from animal-derived proteins. What if we could instead make them in microbial cell factories?

[Biosoft/Koenderink Lab @BiosoftLab]

Together with the team of @jgdaran1, we will harness our expertise in synthetic biology and materials science to generate yeast cell factories for producing biomaterials for soft tissue repair and cell-based meat production.
