We are delighted to announce 'Physics of Life 2023' at Harrogate Convention Centre, UK, 27-30 March 2023. This exciting development in UK biological physics brings together communities from @PhysicsOfLifeUK, @BBS, IoP Institute of Physics, Physics of Living Matter & Physics Meets Biology


Excited to share our latest preprint. Artificial cells from synthetic DNA condensates with internal patterns made through reaction-diffusion. Amazing job by AdrianLeathers and all. Coll. Michael Booth Cicuta Group ๐ Imperial Chemistry fabriCELL biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shโฆ 1/2

There's still time to sign up to Open Hardware Summit this Friday and hear Samuel McDermott's talk about autohaem - #openhardware for blood smears developed Cambridge University Cicuta Group ๐

Postdoc for lung-on-chip. Funded by CF Trust (UK) to better understand physics and biology of mucociliary clearance, by UKRI Physics of Life to understand bacterial infections of ciliated cells. Cambridge Physics. Details: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/35225/ Organ-on-a-Chip Technologies Network Physics of Life
