Robinson Lab

Our latest paper in @NatureComms details how we can assemble complex protein decorated synthetic cells with asymmetric membrane domains that are able to deform and divide. Great work @nyandrapalli @EdinburghChemE @EdinburghUni @MpiciPotsdam #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Really nice write up and video from @SynCellEU about our latest work in @NatureComms on building synthetic cells with complex membranes. Thanks! youtube.com/watch?v=mlaH-Y… syntheticcell.eu/synthetic-memb… @EdinburghUni @SchoolOfEng_UoE @MpiciPotsdam @nyandrapalli

Hugo Katerbau joins the lab to start his PhD in multi-compartment synthetic cells! Welcome!

Chen Yu joins the lab for a summer MSc project making synthetic cells!

We are hiring a PhD @EdinburghUni @SchoolOfEng_UoE to work on the bottom-up design and construction of synthetic cells using #microfluidics and #lipid membranes. Lab is based at the Institute for Bioengineering. #synbio eng.ed.ac.uk/studying/degre… Please RT!

@amaia_cipitria @MariaCaffarel @MpiciPotsdam @unaiheras Where the paper?

Celebrating with @MariaCaffarel Lab our first joint paper & the journey: started at @MpiciPotsdam, long revision, moving lab to Spain, new PhD @unaiheras accepts the challenge, new collaborators and friends support us finishing this. Many are missing here, thank you all so much!!

New paper in @BiophysJ ! Great collaboration with the Steinem lab, where we use microfluidics to trap giant lipid vesicles and analysis proton transport across membranes! doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.… @uniGoettingen @EdinburghChemE @EdinburghUni #OpenAccess #microfluidics

@chnehls and Radek Šachl Kicking off the start of the International Membrane Biophysics Meeting "From Model to Cellular Membranes". Excited to present our work in the Membrane Model Session! #DGfBiophys

@ChemistryTA @nicolepamme More for 3 month summer projects.

@LabRobinson Are you looking for research projects or undergraduate teaching labs? @nicolepamme and I put out a review article on teaching microfluidics in the undergraduate classroom/lab that might be a helpful start doi.org/10.1063/1.5096…

Calling all microfluidics people! What are you experiences of undergrad lab projects using microfluidics? Any commercial teaching kit recommendations?

Deadline 31.01.! Only few places left:

Excited to announce that from Feb 2024 I will be joining @EdinburghUni as a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering @EdinburghChemE at the Institute of Bioengineering. Looking forward to working with you at Edinburgh and in the UK in general!

Great to be a part of this collaboration!

Being an early bird is still possible: We have postponed the early bird registration until December 31. Register here: bit.ly/3Q1A5H7 12 invited speakers will contribute to our theme "From Model to Cellular Membranes" - check the speakers below!

Work with us at the intersection of Neuromorphic Engineering and Synthetic Biology as doctoral student to recreate the sense of smell @kieluni @Kiel_Nano @VolkswagenSt All details: uni-kiel.de/personal/de/st… Press release about the project: uni-kiel.de/en/research/pr… RT appreciated.

@DimovaLab @MpiciPotsdam @PotsdamScience Lacks microfluidics but that is some nice membrane curvature. 😃

@LabRobinson I don’t want to brag but I think I got an even more amazing thank-you mug from Mareike Stephan for her PhD 🤩😛 Just look at the bilayer composition, intricate curvature and tubulated & budding GUVs #WhatToDoWithYourPhD @MpiciPotsdam @PotsdamScience

Amazing thank you mug from Mareike to end her PhD #microfluidics #GUVS #tea

Come on down to this!

Congratulations to Mareike Stephan who successfully defended her thesis yesterday! @MpiciPotsdam @unipotsdam

Mareike just submitted her thesis on bacterial mimetic synthetic cells! Congrats! @MpiciPotsdam @unipotsdam @imprs_multi_bio
