How to build life from non-living components? Or perhaps a blueprint of #MatterToLife! syntheticcell.eu/a-recipe-for... Check out the recent study from @boekhovenlab.bsky.social and @hniederho.bsky.social, @tum.de www.cell.com/chem/fulltex...

The @boekhovenlab.bsky.social aims to build life from non-living components using #evolution. We look back at one of the group's recent results: the engineering of cell-like systems capable of producing offspring, a key prerequisite for Darwinian evolution #syncell syntheticcell.eu/a-recipe-for...

🗣️ @boekhovenlab.bsky.social is Associate Professor in the Bioscience Department at the @tumunich.bsky.social 🇩🇪 🎯 His research focuses on #molecular #selfassembly and #non-#equilibrium #chemically fueled #supramolecular #assemblies towards #synthetic #life from the bottom up 👌 👉 Do not miss it!

Pumping molecules against a gradient without a pump? Back-to-back with @boekhovenlab.bsky.social, we describe minimal systems that use chemical energy to transport molecules against a concentration gradient. It started with a little shock!🧵 Us: shorturl.at/smQNF Job's team: shorturl.at/zftps

Check out Monika's work published in @cp-chem.bsky.social! We’ve engineered synthetic cells that emerge, grow, and produce offspring autonomously, powered by chemical fuel. A significant stride towards synthetic life! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How can a cell control the size of its organelles? Excited to share a mechanism to control droplet size we recently found. a 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our group Mesoscopic Physics of Life is now on BlueSky. Hopefully no more strange and unwanted messages ... 😆

Our university is among the top 20 universities in the world for the first time in both #NaturalSciences and #engineering & #technology in the QS World University Rankings by Subject: go.tum.de/639382 🎉 #QSWUR #SubjectRankings #HigherEducation 📷A. Eckert

#JungesKolleg: Die neuen Mitglieder stehen fest! Christoph Heilig @lmumuenchen.bsky.social, Maik Luu @Uniklinik Würzburg, Carolin Müller @fau.de, Robert J. Mayer @tum.de und Charlotte Wendland @lmumuenchen.bsky.social 👉 tiny.badw.de/rPTXJE Willkommen in der BAdW! Foto: @wolf-bild.bsky.social

Check out the video highlight of our recent work! youtube.com/shorts/MCJEb...

It’s out!😃 2 years ago, I organized a workshop with @WebersGroup and @KGoepfrich on how to build Life. We discussed with leading scientists by day and wrote up our discussions in the eves. The "Roadmap Towards Synthetic Life" is now out in Chem! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Just arrived in the beautiful Tarragona. Excited to give a lecture at the amazing ICIQ tomorrow. iciq.org/event/regula...

Excited to give a lecture this Friday at the University of Barcelona. More info here: dqio.ub.edu

📣Open Call for Fellowships: International scientists who would like to work closely with scientists @tumuenchen.bsky.social and visit us for extend periods can still be nominated until 18 February! More information: ias.tum.de/ias/programs... Open Call: ias.tum.de/ias/news-eve...

This week's #WednesdayCoffeeTalk: “Converting chemical energy into motion” by @boekhovenlab.bsky.social! Online at 1 pm - DM us for Zoom info! ias.tum.de/ias/news-eve...

All the hard work done by @pablozambrano.bsky.social!

Now published in JACS! Pablo found an easy way to divide fatty acid-based protocells. Simplicity first: All you need is to add carbodiimide as fuel! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

I am excited to share our latest publication in JACS: "Chemically Driven Division of Protocells by Membrane Budding" I am grateful to all my amazing coauthors for their incredible teamwork @boekhovenlab.bsky.social Read it: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #protocells #chemistry #originoflife #JACS

We are looking for two #postdocs to join us: 1) @ERC_Research funded position in the context of RNA origami, cryoEM, synthetic cells, directed evolution; 2) A position in the excellence cluster @Cluster3DMM2O at the interface of chemistry & biology. Please share and get in touch!

Last year we met with about 60 scientists for 2 weeks to discuss what it means to synthesize life. Here is the summary of our discussion: https://chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv/article-details/668b9aaf01103d79c55e9fab We hope it represents diverse views and serves as a roadmap towards...

It finally arrived! Excited to dig in! @saraimari.bsky.social

Accepted! Soon, in your favorite American chemistry journal🥳!

I made a starter pack for the Systems Chemistry community: go.bsky.app/VULkeAC I haven't found everyone yet, so I will update it regularly. Drop a message if you're in #systemschemistry but not listed yet. #chemistry #chemsky @hermanslab.bsky.social @yannickgeiger.bsky.social

Great to see so many new people here! Explore Starter Packs to get started! I made one of scientists with a focus on #ChemBio, #Chemistry, (Chemical) #Proteomics and #DrugDiscovery: bsky.app/starter-pac... As well as a short version of the 25 most recommended accounts: bsky.app/starter-pac...#ChemBio,#Chemistry,#Proteomics#DrugDiscovery:8)

Hey all! I'm just checking in at BlueSky and excited to see the recent surge in activity. ❤️ these cute raining droplets if you want me to follow you. (notice the oscillation?) Follow me if ur interested in systems chem, droplets, self-assembly, synthetic life, non-equilibrium systems, and more!
