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

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!

@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:

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!

Congratulations to Mareike Stephan who successfully defended her thesis yesterday! @MpiciPotsdam @unipotsdam

[Robinson Lab @LabRobinson]

Mareike just submitted her thesis on bacterial mimetic synthetic cells! Congrats! @MpiciPotsdam @unipotsdam @imprs_multi_bio

[Robinson Lab @LabRobinson]

New @BiophysJ paper to create synthetic bacterial membranes with lipopolysaccharides on the outer leaflet using a new inverted emulsion method. Great collab with @DimovaLab Stefanie Barbirz via @imprs_multi_bio Well done Mareike! @MpiciPotsdam @unipotsdam https://t.co/xkWzKF1fZL

[Robinson Lab @LabRobinson]

@DimovaLab Great boss, mentor and scientist! Totally deserved! 👏👏👏

[Robinson Lab @LabRobinson]

Out latest work in @LabonaChip showing how we use #singlecell analysis within #microfluidics to study flow effects on #breastcancer cells in collaboration with @amaia_cipitria. Great work Hubert! @MpiciPotsdam https://t.co/EDPz7D6wBh
