If looking at the role of compartmentalisation in the origin of life excites you, we have two PhD positions in our lab as part of the EU funded @ Here is the advert.....

Would you like to build synthetic cells? We have PhD and post-doc positions available in our interdisciplinary lab. Please see Pdfs on details of the positions and how to apply.

Its out! We integrate Cell‐Free Quorum Sensing Gene Circuits into Droplet Interface Bilayers. A great platform for bio-inspired bidirectional communication. Beautiful work @gonzalesdavid in collaboration with @zechnerlab! See it here....

Official start at university of Saarland. Looking forward to working with new colleagues and moving the lab to start a new position in Synthetic Biology. Watch this space….#synbio #OriginOfLife #BottomUp.

RT @EtnProtomet: This is something you don't want to miss! #originsoflife @MSCActions #H2020

Really excited to have been awarded a #ERCCoG grant to contribute to @ERC_research. We'll be building synthetic cells to unravel the physical chemistry of living systems. Interested in joining our team? We'll be recruiting soon..

@SimoneReber @mpiib_berlin @Markrcronan @IatsenkoIgor @fm_key @MajerOlivia @mtaylor_Berlin @zychlinsky Congratulations @SimoneReber. Exciting news!

That's exciting! Our paper was picked by the editor as a highlight in "Structural biology, biochemistry and biophysics". Pat on the back for all the hard work from the authors! Thankyou @Natcomms!

@davidtgonzales1 @zechnerlab It is a very nice hat!

Many congratulations on the defense of your thesis @davidtgonzales1. Thoroughly well deserved!!

@LennartHilbert Thanks Lennart. 😊

Fluidization is critical for ribozyme activity in peptide coacervates - Mg2+ can facilitate this. Huge congratulations to 1st author Juan. Great to see the fruits of your labour in print. #OriginOfLife #Coacervates.

@Honigmann_Lab @csbdresden Congratulations Yara!

@emergenceoflife @ClaudiaBonfio @KGoepfrich @leonard_prins @preinerin Thank you for all of the brilliant organisation! I really enjoyed the lively scientific discussions across fields
