RT appreciated:
My lab is recruiting several Ph.D.s and Postdocs excited to build synthetic cells that undergo Darwinian evolution.
The backgrounds that we need for include biochemistry, synthetic biology, and systems chemistry.

The third (final?) chapter of my gliding trilogy is out: after "gliding on a membrane" and "on a sphere", I offer you our new paper on *gliding in a nematic*! nature.com/articles/s41563-0… Huge thanks to Lukas @BauschLab, Ivan&Timo @PhysOfLifeLMU & Tetsu @TU_Muenchen. Here's a🧵(1/15)

Want to know more about our recent paper on branching #organoids and how to model #PancreaticCancer? 😄😉
Read the @TU_Muenchen press release on our @NatureComms paper by @MaxReichertMD and @BauschLab!!

Beyond spheroids!
We show #PancreaticCancer cells self-organize into morphologically-faithful #organoids! Great work by Samuel, @arispapargyriou from @MaxReichert lab and @EdouardHannezo for a true collaboration between Biohysics and Medicine!

Are you interested in actin-binding proteins and lipid bilayers? @NkTimon, @BleicherPhilip and @BauschLab show how mobile anchoring of VASP allows it to function both as an elongator and bundler during #actin polymerization. Very thankful to be part of this!
My first paper is out now. 🎉 We reconstitute the formation of VASP condensates on bilayers, which nucleate, polymerize and bundle actin filaments. The bundles grow by enhanced polymerization aligned to filaments.
Thanks to @BleicherPhilip, @MarcoPayr and of course @Bauschlab.
