#SpindleCroatia2023: fascinating conference topic (I'm learning a lot) in BEAUTIFUL Dubrovnik. Gayathri Singaraju and I have had some cool discussions at our joint poster on cytoplasmic division of zebrafish embryos with Heisenberg Lab & Andela Saric 🏖️👩🔬



Ways by which membrane vesicles swallow anisotropic objects 🍡: Fun collaboration with Daniela Kraft ‘s lab, with experiment by Ali Azadbakht @azadbakht.bsky.social & Thijs, and simulation by Billie Meadowcroft , out in Nano Letters pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… ISTAustria Leiden Institute of Physics (LION)

Many cellular filaments treadmill: grow and shrink on opposite ends by consuming energy. How does this feature help their self-organisation? What role does it play in bacterial division? So excited to share this team effort by Andela Saric @nartimsoole & @seamus_holden labs! 🧫🔬🖥️


🔓 #OpenAccess: "Wrapping Pathways of Anisotropic Dumbbell Particles by Giant Unilamellar Vesicles" by Ali Azadbakht @azadbakht.bsky.social, Billie Meadowcroft, Varkevisser, Andela Saric, & Daniela Kraft go.acs.org/53l


Group retreat with Andela Saric in Salzburg 🏔️ Science charades, moodboards and bathing archaea under the snow! ♨️☕☃️




We are back!!! Announcing Interdisciplinary challenges 2024: 22-26 April in Dresden (MPI-PKS Dresden). A workshop from and for young researchers in Physics and Biology (but everybody is welcome!!!) New team, new venue, new science! For now, *save the date*! Details in the next days 😉!


2+1=3, but can we also just add up membrane-deformation induced interactions? The experimental answer is now available online in Biophysical Journal (and a preprint on arXiv): sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Great collaboration with Billie Meadowcroft Andela Saric Ali Azadbakht @azadbakht.bsky.social

I do not quite agree! 2+1≠3! The interactions between three lipid membrane deforming spheres are non-additive. For more information, see our recent publication in Biophysical Journal. Many thanks to authors Daniela Kraft , Andela Saric, Billie Meadowcroft and Juraj!


New🌶️: Amyloid self-replication occurs on small & rare “catalytic sites” on the fibril. Work of Samo, who came for Erasmus+ and stayed for MS & PhD...some things take time;). Great fun with KnowlesLab Cambridge Thomas Michaels Georg Meisl 🪩pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…


From two to many colloids interacting by lipid membrane deformations! #MyACSCover Ali Azadbakht @azadbakht.bsky.social
