Zwicker Group

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!

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/

4-year PhD and post-doctoral positions @goehring_lab @TheCrick 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/…

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

⏰Do you have a minute?⏰ Chengjie Lou is a postdoctoral researcher in the @ZwickerGroup 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… @luochengjie58 #DYHAM

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! 🎊🎉

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

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 👌💪🏻🧠🍀

It’s amazing to see experimental evidence for a mechanism we conceived about a decade ago! Congratulations to @BoekhovenLab and @WebersGroup – this is surely just the beginning of an exciting scientific journey! 🎉

This interdisciplinary work emerged from a short email with curious data, which sparked deeper investigations. Thanks to @SchwarzUlrich for putting us in touch!

Sharing this cool collaboration with @ZwickerGroup out today in @ScienceAdvances! 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…

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

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 @SaricLab, @squishycell1, @ShilaBanerji, and @SoftLiv_Cornell!

Our paper on phase separation of multicomponent mixtures with higher-order interactions is published! Congratulations @luochengjie58 🎉
