What a pleasure to collaborate with Laura #Schaedel and her team at @uni-saarland.de to study #microtubule damage and repair under mechanical load.

Thank you all for coming to @bcube-tud.bsky.social and #Dresden last week. You all made Engineering Life 2025 #25EngLife a most interesting and fun event. #Mechanical #forces in Biology rule!!!

Just started our @bcube-tud.bsky.social - organized Engineering Life 2025 #25EngLife conference in #Dresden! Excited to have everybody around!

Few spots left on our @bcube-tud.bsky.social organised hashtag #Symposium: Engineering Life 2025: Origin and Function of Mechanical Forces in Biology ⚙️🧬 📆 September 1-3, 2025 📍 Steigenberger Hotel de Saxe, Dresden Register now (Deadline 31 July 2025): engineering-life-dresden.de

Happy to be part of the Dresden Science Night at the CMCB! The B CUBE was well-represented with @schlierflab.bsky.social, @stefandiezlab.bsky.social, @jamessaenz.bsky.social group as well as Kröger and Politi groups! 🙏🏻 Big thanks to everyone taking part in the event!

Our recent B CUBE Day brought the B CUBEes together! A guest lecture 🧠, workshops on AI 🤖, statistics 📊, and scientific storytelling 🎤, a scavenger hunt 🔍, and a barbecue 🍔 - a day full of engagement, information, and fun. ..and an annual group photo 👇

Big congratulation to @schneiderlab.bsky.social Well deserved, René!!!

Proud and excited to be part of „Physics of Life“ @poldresden.bsky.social, one of the excellence clusters funded at @tudresden.bsky.social for another 7 years 🎉

Good news: there will be 3 scholarships available for Physics of Life MSc students starting in 2025! ✅ €300/month for 1 year ✅ No separate application—admitted students are automatically considered. Apply now ➡️ tud.link/vejrmx #Biophysics #PhysicsofLife #StudyinGermany #Masters #Biology

Registration has started for the conference "Emerging Trends in the Physics of the Cell" in memoriam of Erich Sackmann at TU Munich from October 15-18 2025 www.cpa.tum.de/cpa/conferen...

🥳 Huge congratulations to Henry Carey-Morgan for receiving his PhD at @tudresden.bsky.social ! 🎓 His thesis on "Motor Proteins and Microtubules as Molecular Explorers" sheds new light on the fascinating world of molecular bioengineering. All the best for his future! #PhD @bcube-tud.bsky.social

🚀 Excited to share our latest work, now out in #NanoLetters! We show how to encode up to 4 bits of information onto gliding #microtubules using patterned photobleaching as fluorescent barcodes. 🔗 pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.... 🧠💡 Big thanks to the team! #MolecularRobotics #SyntheticBiology

Scientists, please share!🔬 Explore living systems through a physics lens. The #Biophysics MSc at @cmcb-tud.bsky.social opens applications on 1st April 🗓️ Taught entirely in English, with no tuition fees! Learn more: physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/career-educa... #Physics #Masters #MSc #FreeTuition

Happy to announce that our new work on studying how gliding diatoms modulate the curvature of their paths is now on #bioRxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... Great work in collaboration with @nic-poulsen.bsky.social on a nucleation grant by @poldresden.bsky.social #OpenScience #Preprints #diatom

Delighted to see our work on #diatom motility published in @pnas.org !🎉 doi.org/10.1073/pnas... These abundant single-celled algae are responsible for a significant portion of the air we breathe yet often overlooked. Here we show how how diatom (raphe) shape impacts their gliding function... 1/3

A fantastic collaboration between PoL members @stefandiezlab.bsky.social and @friedrich-group.bsky.social published now in @naturephysics.bsky.social - well done to all involved! 🎉🤓 Check out the official CMCB press release below:

⁉️ How can cilia beat rhythmically? The Diez Lab @stefandiezlab.bsky.social and @friedrich-group.bsky.social at @poldresden.bsky.social found a twisting motion during cilia beats that might play a key role in coordinating their tiny molecular motors! 🌀⚙️ Read more ➡️ tud.link/wr8ze9 #CMCBnews

Great collaboration with @gaiapigino.bsky.social at @mpicbg.bsky.social and @humantechnopole.bsky.social 😊

Such a fun project and great teamwork with @gaiapigino.bsky.social. Thanks to all involved.
