Very happy to share that I’ve been awarded an EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowship I’ll be joining the Complex Materials Group at ETH Zürich, working with Prof. André Studart and Dr. Rafael Libanori on dynamic soft materials. Many thanks to @embo.org and @feringalab.bsky.social. Excited for what’s next!

Photoisomerizing molecules in biological membranes just got published in Nature Reviews Chemistry! @feringalab.bsky.social From motion at the nanoscale, to microscale membrane remodeling , to functional biological interfaces. Design principles, challanges, and future applications.🔬✨ rdcu.be/eT4Jd

👩‍🔬Our new paper is out in Chem! @feringalab.bsky.social We unveil how light-driven rotary motors behave in lipid membranes—and why system-specific characterization is crucial. Structure & polarity shape membrane interaction and function. Read (or see comments): doi.org/10.1016/j.ch...

Do you want to see how attaching a light-driven 💡molecular motor 💡 can enhance the 🧫cellular uptake 🧫 of a therapeutic peptide 🏥? Celebrating woman in science with our latest publication with the VicentPTlab! 👩‍⚕️👩‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ @feringalab.bsky.social pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

🚨Motorized lipids🚨 💡 We've created the first molecular-motor-conjugated phospholipid system, enabling tunable membrane properties and oxidation-driven release in giant vesicles.💡🧬 @feringalab.bsky.social & Schwille Lab in ACS_Langmuir pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Check out our latest publication where we elicit a light-triggered ⚡️ cascade response in a synthetic cell 🔬using polymersomes and molecular motors👩🏻‍🔬! Thanks always to the @feringalab.bsky.social and our amazing collaborators from @unibas.ch advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Check out this amazing ScienceSlam about our recent project at the FeringaLab. doi.org/10.1002/adma... We explore how synthetic molecular machines interact with lipid membranes, triggering crazy shape transformations Great example how research is not only done in the lab! youtu.be/S7WKGf_idTE?...
