We are a DFG-funded consortium of theoretical and experimental physicists, biologists, chemists and clinicians, studying non-equilibrium processes in biological systems - e.g. How do immune cells move & find their targets? How do bacteria adhere to surfaces & cause infections?

Excited to visit @SFB_1027 today. Day starts with a (almost) private flight to @Saar_Uni. I will mainly talk about our recent works on cell free membrane protein synthesis

Next to all the science, networking was continued in some off-campus activities (climbing parc, visit at World Heritage Site Völklinger Hütte, a long hike, & more sports🧘‍♂️🏃‍♀️).

Here some impressions from our #DGZ International Meeting @DGZ_info, held in Saarbrücken, with @SFB_1027 #CellPhysics2023. ~300 participants enjoyed exciting data by invited speakers, in 28 short-talks & on 135 posters. The science shared was outstanding, thx to all who joined!

Bacteria: I need more space! Pluronic: Don't stress, let me relax a bit! 😎 Take a deep dive into the stress relaxation and creep-recovery behavior of pluronic hydrogels used for bacteria encapsulation in #EngineeredLivingMaterials #ELM @LSCLifeMat @ShrikrishnanS @SFB_1027

We reprogrammed some bacteria, stuck them in a gel and shone light. YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT! If that clickbait worked, click this link to check out our latest work on bacterial gels for regeneration - doi.org/10.1002/adfm.2022126… @Vrunvrun3 @priya_dhakane @AdvSciNews

Just noticed this now...a nice end to last year - Our paper in the Programmable Living Biomaterials special issue @BiomaterialsAdv is online: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Super quick and constructive review process! @ShardulBhusari @LSCLifeMat @SFB_1027

That's amazing! Congrats Varun on winning the poster prize at this incredible biomaterials conference. Look out for the preprint coming out soon everyone! @LSCLifeMat @SFB_1027
Replying to @Vrunvrun3
Met many young researchers and got to know about their exciting research work. Thanks to @MSE_UNIHD for organizing such a nice conference and personally, winning the best poster was icing on the cake :) @ShrikrishnanS @priya_dhakane
