Microfluidic production of hydrogel SynCells with spatially structured interiors — now out in Small Science! Huge congrats to group legend Matt Allen and the whole team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…

Delighted to see this published - led by Matt Allen and through Imperial ChemEng - Imperial Chemistry collaboration with Yuval Elani, Rob Law and Oz. Congrats all. Check the paper out below! #synbio #syncell

Really excited 2b working with Yuval Elani James Hindley DiMicheleLAB on energy management strategies for #syncells. great collaboration with colleagues in Japan funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research & JST. #synbio Imperial Sciences #energy Synthetic Cell initiative Build-a-Cell Build-a-Cell South America imperial.ac.uk/news/261214/1m…

Precision Self-assembly of 3D DNA Crystals Using Microfluidics pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… We present a novel strategy for synthesizing monodisperse 3D DNA single crystals using microfluidic double-emulsion droplets as nanoliter-scale microreactors.

Well done to Claudia and her lab - great to be involved in this fantastic project and amazing to see this out!

Want to do a PhD with us? Automated microfluidic pipelines for design, build, test + discovery of compartmentalized LNPs for drug + vaccine delivery. Collab w. Prof Oscar Ces and Rongjun Chen . Please apply + get in touch for more info. RT appreciated! imperial.ac.uk/chemical-biolo…

We built a microfluidic pipeline to make custom giant vesicles with tunable membrane compositions adjusted “on the fly” + developed DNA sensors to read their surface potential. Huge thanks to Marcus Fletcher for leading the charge. Out now in ACS Nano pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

£2m for UK-Japan collaboration to unlock the potential of SynCell materials syntheticcell.eu/2m-for-uk-japa…

Great scheme - was instrumental for my career. Do consider applying!

How can a cell control the size of its organelles? Excited to share a mechanism to control droplet size we recently found. a 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4146…

From our Pioneering Investigators collection 🎉 'Synthetic cell preservation strategies enable their storage and activation at the point of use' by Yuval Elani and Ignacio Gispert at Imperial College London #OpenAccess 🔓 buff.ly/yKXO3cj

New paper out - we show how synthetic cells can be dried, stored & reactivated at the point of use. This helps overcome a key barrier to their use outside the lab, bringing SynCells a step closer to real-world applications. Well done to Ignacio Gispert! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Check out our PhD student Hannah Sleath’s paper on vesicle-based synthetic cells that can crawl up surface concentration gradients using DNA receptors — great collaboration with DiMicheleLAB and Bortolo Mognetti pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Out now: 'An aptamer-based bacterial burden biosensor' led by the fantastic Alice Grob in the lab! Thanks to co-authors Tom Copeman, Lucy Sifeng Chen, Jacopo Gabrielli, Yuval Elani, Elisa Franco. Check this at Trends in Biotechnology: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S01…

Latest paper in ACS Nano by the brill Talia Shmool: engineered ionic liquid–gold nanoparticles for brain-targeted delivery. Tuning IL chem boosts stability, reduces aggregation & enhances BBB delivery ~10x . My pleasure to have played a small part in this pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thrilled to share I’ve been awarded a Fellowship from The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine. This will support work on biomedical applications of synthetic cells & biomolecular robots over the next 5 years. Huge thanks to Elani Group, collabs, mentors from Imperial College London & elsewhere for support!
