What a pleasure it was to return to my Alma Mater, Vilnius University! I was invited to deliver a guest lecture for master’s students in the Systems Biology program at the Faculty of Medicine. We discussed SynBio topics, bottom-up Synthetic Cell research, and my own work on biomolecular condensates!

I am happy to share that our review on the Controlled Protein Synthesis in Microfluidic Environments has been published 🎉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Thanks to @emmacrean.bsky.social, Imre Banlaki, @jankalkowski.bsky.social, and @hniederho.bsky.social for great teamwork!

Can we build synthetic cells from de novo designed proteins? Find out more in the latest review @natrevbioeng.nature.com from Bela Frohn, Shunshi Kohyama and Petra Schwille. ❕Publication: doi.org/10.1038/s442... #ProteinDesign #SyntheticBiology @belafrohn.bsky.social ‬

I had the pleasure of giving a talk at the Biomolecular condensates conference in Copenhagen!☀️ Thanks to @proteinmagnus.bsky.social, @lindorfflarsen.bsky.social, and A.K. Buell for creating such an interesting program, and Fida Biosystems for the travel grant award! 👏 events.au.dk/biomolecular...

Very exciting program for the next 3 days! Will talk about microfluidic platform for biomolecular condensates on the second day. See you there!

I was waiting two years to see this out!! The genomic location of bacterial genes is not random!!! Congratulation on the authors (Martin Lercher and Team!). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We are looking forward to the workshop "Biomolecular Condensates and Polymer Phase Transitions" which we are organizing together with the IPF Dresden (dpd.ipfdd.de). It will be held from May 25th - 28th, 2025 in Meißen, near Dresden. The registration deadline is May 5th, 2025.

Calling all structural enthusiasts! An accurate depiction of the structure of DNA in #Lego is under 2000 supporters away from being considered to become a real set! It even has Franklin, Watson, and Crick minifigures and a Lego photgraph 51 and Bragg's law! ideas.lego.com/projects/c92...
