New paper out now: genetically engineered microbes as biosensor modules in artificial cells. Nice collab between Imperial Chemistry @fabrCELL & DoLS Imperial Sciences Prof Oscar Ces. rsfs.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/8/5/20…

'Light tweezers': Our researchers Imperial Chemistry have used lasers to move, melt, and scatter mysterious biological ‘icebergs’ ow.ly/RWj130nuAr5 (Video credit: Yuval Elani)

'Tweezers' made of light beams have been used by Imperial Chemistry's Yuval Elani to move, melt, and scatter mysterious lipid icebergs that float around in our cell membranes and may impact cellular signalling ow.ly/kAMZ30nuHmP


Our paper on using optical tweezers to directly manipulate lipid domains is out! nature.com/articles/s4200… Work done together w. Guido Bolognesi Prof Oscar Ces Mark Friddin Ali Salehi-Reyhani. Many thanks to Imperial Chemistry @fabrCELL and Imperial College Centre for Synthetic Biology

One PhD studentship available in my group at Imperial ChemEng to develop advanced membranes for energy conversion and storage. The project will involve collaborations with several research groups in the UK. Deadline: 30th April. Details: jobs.ac.uk/job/BPY209/phd…

Pleased to announce the award of an Imperial College London seed fund grant with Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro on long-term storage of synthetic cells for endpoint delivery. Exciting times ahead! Ricky Benton @impbioeng


We've been actively controlling access into porous nanoparticles. New paper just accepted in Langmuir with Hanna Barrige (Hanna Barriga), John Seddon, Oscar Ces (Prof Oscar Ces) and Rob Law (Rob Law). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

The purpose of life is to be happy. This is what all human beings have in common—the wish to lead a happy life. Many think that happiness is to be found outside us in material things, but actually it’s something that comes from within, from warm-heartedness and concern for others


Fancy doing a PhD on synthetic cell technologies for next-gen vaccines with Yuval Elani & Prof Oscar Ces ? If so, then get in touch! Project will be based in the superb multidisciplinary environment of Imperial ChemEng Imperial Chemistry and ICB Centre of Doctoral Training findaphd.com/phds/project/c…

24 yrs ago, Roger Tsien et al introduced the first fluorescent biosensors based on #GFP. Today, we introduce the first acoustic biosensors based on #gasvesicles. Now it's possible to image the action of specific molecules (enzymes) in the body w/ultrasound nature.com/articles/s4158…
