Biosoft/Koenderink Lab

February 2024 is TU Delft Health Maand, and several health researchers including Gijsje Koenderink and her team with their work on the role of mechanical forces in disease were filmed in the lab. Video: Gijsje Koenderink (tudelft.nl)

In this study led by Lucia Baldauf we established a robust method to reconstitute vesicles with an actin cortex and – by pairing with theory by @sciFelixFrey and @TimonIdema - discovered that branched actin preferentially assembles at membrane necks! doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.…

TU Delft | Health Initiative On February 20th at 17:30, @gijsjekoenderi1 will present our work during the Innovation for Health Seminar. Free dinner and drinks included!

We congratulate our dear PI @gijsjekoenderi1 for her new appointment as Medical Delta professor! Medical Delta is an interdisciplinary collaboration in Zuid-Holland that works on technological solutions for sustainable healthcare. medicaldelta.nl/en/news/portra…

New job opening! You can now apply for a new PhD position at TU Delft Bionanoscience, to perform research on synthetic cell division in the labs of both @cees_dekker & @gijsjekoenderi1 (Biosoft)! Curious to find out more? Visit: academictransfer.com/en/318745/phd-…

Very grateful to @NWO_TTW for awarding our OTP program! nwo.nl/nieuws/zes-pro…

Together with the team of @jgdaran1, we will harness our expertise in synthetic biology and materials science to generate yeast cell factories for producing biomaterials for soft tissue repair and cell-based meat production.

Current biomaterials are mainly made from animal-derived proteins. What if we could instead make them in microbial cell factories?
