If looking at the role of compartmentalisation in the origin of life excites you, we have two PhD positions in our lab as part of the EU funded @ Here is the advert.

Would you like to build synthetic cells? We have PhD and post-doc positions available in our interdisciplinary lab. Please see Pdfs on details of the positions and how to apply.

Its out! We integrate Cell‐Free Quorum Sensing Gene Circuits into Droplet Interface Bilayers. A great platform for bio-inspired bidirectional communication. Beautiful work @gonzalesdavid in collaboration with @zechnerlab! See it here.

Official start at university of Saarland. Looking forward to working with new colleagues and moving the lab to start a new position in Synthetic Biology. Watch this space….#synbio #OriginOfLife #BottomUp.

RT @EtnProtomet: This is something you don't want to miss! #originsoflife @MSCActions #H2020

Really excited to have been awarded a #ERCCoG grant to contribute to @ERC_research. We'll be building synthetic cells to unravel the physical chemistry of living systems. Interested in joining our team? We'll be recruiting soon. .

That's exciting! Our paper was picked by the editor as a highlight in "Structural biology, biochemistry and biophysics". Pat on the back for all the hard work from the authors! Thankyou @Natcomms! .

Its online! Exploiting compartments to tune reactions and synthetic cell networks. Congratulations 1st authors: Adrian, Giorgio, @gao_mengfei!!!🥳 Great working with collaborators @deMelloGroup, Appelhans #Synbio #collaborations.

RT @TreutleinLab: Excited to share our work on sequencing single phase-separated droplets! Huge congrats @dwollny85 for initiating, designi….

Many congratulations on the defense of your thesis @davidtgonzales1. Thoroughly well deserved!!

Fluidization is critical for ribozyme activity in peptide coacervates - Mg2+ can facilitate this. Huge congratulations to 1st author Juan. Great to see the fruits of your labour in print. #OriginOfLife #Coacervates.

Our work shows how out-of-equilibrium conditions drives fusion, division and selection of coacervate droplets, is out! Great collaboration with the Braun Lab. Congratulations first author - Alan Ianeselli.

RT @imprs_mpicbg: After 4 packed days of learning, our #DDSSPC summer school in #protocell models comes to a close. What a wonderful group….

Check out our new preprint in collaboration with #BraunLab #AlanIaneselli. We show that non-equilibrium conditions will select, maintain and divide coacervate droplets. Features which are critical for the #OriginofLife #NonEquilibrium.

RT @LabRobinson: In case you missed the tutorial today, you can catch the webinar tomorrow morning on #microfluidic chip preparation at the….
