Our paper on phase separation of multicomponent mixtures with higher-order interactions is published! Congratulations Chengjie Luo 🎉

The lecture notes on "Chemically Active Droplets" are now available on arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2407.09859. Thanks again for the amazing Boulder Summer School students and the organizers Andela Saric, Gardel Lab, Shiladitya Banerjee, and Laboratory of Soft and Living Materials!

Ready to lead your own research team-?😎The Max Planck Society offers you the chance to head an independent Research Group at a participating Max Planck Institute of your choice - the next open topic call starts on Sep 9, 2024. Stay tuned for updates!🌟 mprg.mpg.de

Sharing this cool collaboration with Zwicker Group out today in Science Advances! Using the 3D spatial information of >1,000 precancers from 48 human pancreas samples, we developed a mathematical growth model for pancreatic precancer growth: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This interdisciplinary work emerged from a short email with curious data, which sparked deeper investigations. Thanks to Ulrich Schwarz (also @ulrichschwarz.bsky.social) for putting us in touch!

It’s amazing to see experimental evidence for a mechanism we conceived about a decade ago! Congratulations to Job Boekhoven and Mesoscopic Physics of Life (MPol) - Weber Group – this is surely just the beginning of an exciting scientific journey! 🎉

We are accepting applications again to our fantastic fully funded program with excellent faculty and interdisciplinary research opportunities! APPLY NOW!!! cognition.maxplanckschools.org/en/application #maxplanckschools #passionforscience 👌💪🏻🧠🍀

That’s an excellent opportunity, which cannot be recommended enough :)

We welcome 🇳🇱 Guido Kusters as a new postdoc in our group! Guido did his PhD in Eindhoven and will work on various topics involving phase separation with us. Welcome aboard! 🎊🎉

⏰Do you have a minute?⏰ Chengjie Lou is a postdoctoral researcher in the Zwicker Group at MPI-DS. Let's spend a minute with him and join his work on patterns created by phase separation! youtube.com/watch?v=XSqxw7… Chengjie Luo #DYHAM

Filipe Thewes 🇧🇷 joined our group this week! After a successful PhD with Peter Sollich at Uni Göttingen, he moved up the hill to help us understand multicomponent phase separation. Welcome aboard! 🥳

4-year PhD and post-doctoral positions Goehring Lab The Francis Crick Institute combining advanced cell biological, biophysical, and theoretical approaches to uncover the design principles of cell polarity and fate specification in C. elegans. crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job/L… crick.ac.uk/careers-study/…

RT appreciated: My lab is recruiting several Ph.D.s and Postdocs excited to build synthetic cells that undergo Darwinian evolution. The backgrounds that we need for include biochemistry, synthetic biology, and systems chemistry. Details: boekhovenlab.com/openings/

We welcome 🇩🇪Henri Schmidt to our group! 🎉 Henri will work on multicomponent phase separation and graduate with a PhD in a few years. Welcome aboard!
