Congrats to Saarbrücken researchers! Prof. Karin Jacobs, Prof. Franziska Lautenschläger & @ostaufer.bsky.social join the Max Planck School Matter to Life as Fellows, strengthening biophysics & soft matter research in Germany. #academicsky #science

Apply now to join my group as a postdoctoral Fellow at @imperialcollege We are supporting applications for: - Imperial College Research Fellowship -Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships Get in touch: continilab.com #SoftMatter, #CellMimicry #polymerchemistry

New paper from the Staufer Lab - Immuno Materials, a group that seeks to build immunity from the bottom-up

Excited to share our new @pnas.org paper! We used reconstitution approaches and synthetic cells to uncover what drives bispecific T cell engagers efficiency. This helps future #immunotherapy design and demonstrates the potential of synthetic cells in #immunoengineering: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New paper out! Would you like to fluorescently label the plasma membrane in live, fixed or permeabilized cells? I tested different lipid structures and labelling approaches to decide what makes a good membrane labelling probe for such imaging experiments! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very happy to have you onboard Marion!

We have an exciting new PhD opportunity! If you are fsacinated by proteins and their dynamics and want to engineer them to develop new molecular tools: apply now! We are a young and dynamic team combining state-of-the-art laboratory and bioinformatics approaches. Please share.

#newPI and time is running. It has already been a month since I officially joined the University of Warwick as Assistant Professor. I am excited to announce and build the Fluorescence and Membrane Dynamics (FMD) Lab: warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/med/...

Material Minds 10 is out! We talk to Phil Egberts, Prof. at @ucalgary.bsky.social and INM alum. He shares how his journey in materials science began with salt crystals, led him to Germany, and eventually landed in the world of friction & lubrication. Full episode here - youtu.be/Me1rwvf9-XQ?...

Zeiss has released its light field microscope! zeiss.wistia.com/medias/otnxx...

📣NEW PAPER ALERT ⚠️ Finally out in Nature Communications, after unfortunately spending almost 1 year under review at Nature Materials 🤐 But very very pround of this work that was spearheaded by extremely talented PhD student Moritz Weck: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper from the lab🎈. Introducing Micro Immune Response On-chip (MIRO), a device that replicates tumors and their microenvironment to better understand responses to immunotherapies (cyan=immune cells, red=cancer, green=CAFs). www.nature.com/articles/s41... @ibecbarcelona.eu

🚨Three weeks left to apply for this #fullyfunded #PhDopportunity in my group! 🚨 Are you an UK-Home student interest in #SyntheticCells science? We are looking for you! @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @imperiallifesci.bsky.social @imperialsci.bsky.social

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @pnas.org

🔔Upcoming deadline!🔔 January 27 is the last day to submit applications to the MBL's 2025 Physiology Course. This seven-week lab course has educated generations of leading biologists and fostered groundbreaking discoveries. Learn more: bit.ly/3BZSj9c #ScienceStartsHere
