We are looking to expand our team and offer a postdoc position. We’re looking for fun people, who are interested in working collaboratively in a team of physics and collaborate with biologists, chemists, and other physicists around the world. We offer multiple projects in the broader field of theoretical descriptions of phase separation in biological cells, but are also interested in other topics of Theoretical Biological Physics.
Read MoreWe published a new review on phase separation and chemical reactions in multi-component fluids on arXiv.
Read MoreNew preprint “Evolved interactions stabilize many coexisting phases in multicomponent liquids”
Read MoreDavid has been selected to become a new member of the EMBO (European Molecular Biology Organization) community of young researchers. Together with 25 other scientists, he will join an international platform through which young investigators have access to a variety of networking opportunities and funding.
Read MoreWe assessed the formation of droplets in elastic gels using a new model in a recent publication in PNAS. In our study, we simulated how environmental factors such as temperature influence the size of oil droplets in elastic matrices. Our study will also help understanding droplet formation in biological cells, where biological molecules self-organize in condensates.
Read MoreMarcel Ernst joined the group as a Ph.D. student. He’ll work on physical description of condensate in meiosis.
Read MoreOur paper on modeling active droplets has been published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. In this work, we identify the minimal ingredients to control droplets via chemical reactions. Prime examples for such regulation are biomolecular condensates in cells.
Read MoreWe are looking for an excellent, enthusiastic, and self-motivated early-career researchers with good communication skills to join our research team. We offer multiple possible projects on topics in theoretical biophysics. The successful candidate may also shape their own research direction.
Read MoreJohannes Krausser joined the group as a new postdoc
Read MorePam van Touw, a Master student from TU Delft, joined our group as an intern for the next months.
