Had an amazing time at our group retreat in Valencia! One day of joint symposium with the groups of @VicentPTLab @chemical_llopis and Ramon Martinez Manez, and one day team-building. Thanks alot for the generous hospitality - See you again soon!

Highlight article showcasing the nice work of Drishya Elizebath, Vakayil Praveen, and colleagues - thanks @angew_chem @DElizebath

Yingtong's @AnnualReviews article is online! Congrats Yingtong @vanhest_lab! In this review, polymer and lipid vesicles (and nanoparticles) are compared in terms of their physicochemical properties, preparation strategies, and applications. doi.org/10.1146/annure…

Celebrating 10th Anniversary of @ACSBiomaterials pubs.acs.org/toc/abseba/cur… an honor and a pleasure to serve along with @KaplanLab_Tufts and an amazing team of Associate Editors

I presented our work about 3D printing of artificial organelles within artificial cells at @ArtBioAU '24 conference today. @AlexCook222 helped me a lot with this project we're conducting at @vanhest_lab. It was a great pleasure!

At age 40, physicist @cees_dekker @tudelft shifted his research focus to biology. He spoke about building biology, and a biologist, from the bottom up. Read the profile here: bit.ly/4djVSUQ

The group has had a great time a Warwick @Macro2024 always a fantastic conference! Great to catch up with some familiar faces!

Kicking off the conference officially with opening remarks by Dave Haddleton! #Macro2024

@CossarPeter @UoDLifeSciences @UoDCeTPD @alessiociulli @farnaby84 Congrats! 🥳

Thanks to the @Brightlandsnl Polymer Days 2024 organisers for a super conference, great science, great venue - See you at the next one! @vanhest_lab

Looking forward to the 2024 edition of our joint @IBECBarcelona ICMS @TUeindhoven symposium! Just kicked off by @tania_patino_ and @vtconte, some very interesting talks to come

@tlmoore_BioNano @DeptPharm_Unina @UninaIT @ClemsonBIOE @MerkleInstitute @AMIBioNano @iit Great news, congrats!

Beyond thrilled to join the @DeptPharm_Unina @UninaIT as a tenure-track asst prof. Feeling humbled and grateful for the opportunities I had at @ClemsonBIOE, @MerkleInstitute @AMIBioNano and @IIT @MINDED_MSCA. Looking forward to jumping into some exciting science here in Napoli!

New article on complex coacervate artificial cells now online. Thanks very much to Bruno (@ciqususc) for the collab, and of course @vanhest_lab! We looked at the effect of cationic polymer structure on coacervation and enzyme part./activity @MacroJrnls_ACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Great talk from Prof Hoogenboom @Hoogenboomgroup at TUe today - lots of amazing pharmaceutical and biomaterial applications of polyoxazolines! @TUe_ST @vanhest_lab

Join a group of exceptional Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scholars from around the world to take the next steps in your leadership journey. Apply for the 2024 #CASFutureLeaders program by Sunday, January 28, 2024! ow.ly/hUJ550QcwFi

Thanks very much to @WaltherLab for hosting our group visit and joint symposium - lots of ideas and inspiration today!

Enjoying the @vanhest_lab group outing in Mainz! Lots of interesting scientific and social interactions 🤩👍🏻
