Exploring life at the nanoscale
New #CDlab paper on @biorxivpreprint https://t.co/hiJ0USzXyP Here @martinholub_ @AnthonyBirnie et al develop protocols to take a genome from a bacterium, strip it from 97-100% of its binding proteins, and use it for biophysics experiments on megabasepair long DNA! #GenomeInABox https://t.co/AQVvfpRu7Z 
Our latest #CDlab paper online: https://t.co/wMcf2o9SZo Here, @AlessioFragasso combined experiments on biomimetic pores with MD simulations by
@deVriesHW from Patrick Onck’s lab to study how transport receptors are an essential part of the Nuclear Pore Complex

Our #CDlab ex-postdoc @mitashabharadw is nominated as ‘rising star’ https://t.co/ufSaIkxVsy
NB All this was teamwork (see above), but most credits go to 1st author @xinshi_d, who led this challenge as postdoc in our #CDlab Xin is on the job market now and will continue this work as tenure track assistant professor. I greatly recommend him, so get him while you can!

Today, we put 2 new #CDlab papers on the @arxiv preprint server – which both report, in different ways, on demonstrating nanoscale rotary motors that are driven by a flow through a nanopore. https://t.co/hs8tyxGXAd https://t.co/4UCIC4fqyt 1 / https://t.co/yoqBgia3H4 
So cool to meet these guys at the conference, from left to right: Derek Stein, (me,) @the_adam_hall, @KeyserLab Incredibly proud that these guys were postdocs in our #CDlab 15-20 years ago, and now professors at respectively Brown Univ, Virginia Tech/Wake Forest, Univ Cambridge! https://t.co/062ryMuoxi 
If you’re into listening to podcasts about exciting science, try this one by our #CDlab postdoc @TheDNeva: https://t.co/YiQTa5GYCS Here, she explains her previous research with @hendrik_dietz onto building an ATPsynthase-like rotor using DNA origami.
Nice: our #CDlab @tudelft PhD student @RomanBarth2 explaining her majesty queen Maxima of the Netherlands and European commissioner @GabrielMariya our efforts to build chromosomes bottom up, which is important to making synthetic cells @SynCellEU.

Latest #CDlab paper online at @biorxivpreprint now: https://t.co/a1v311uiR7 Here, Sabrina Meindlhumer, @jacobkers and me developed a toolbox to quantitatively analyze surface wave patterns of Min proteins – the fascinating Turing patterns that bacteria use in cell division. https://t.co/qm82H7w4ql 
Probing nanomotion of single bacteria with graphene drums! Latest #CDlab paper online in @NatureNano: https://t.co/ygZq6qqTK2 Great collaboration led by Farbod Alijani. Special congrats to 1st authors Irek Roslon and
@AleksandreJapa
for a great job done! https://t.co/NZCdKQvX9o 
#dtv Weet iemand een leuke groepsaccomodatie voor 25 mensen in Terschelling in september? (In een discussie over klimaat en (niet-)noodzakelijk reizen koos ons #CDlab vandaag om ons lab-retreat in NL te houden ipv op een zonnige zuidelijke bestemming op vliegafstand).
Great new paper in @MolecularCell by @FachinettiLab, to which our #CDlab postdoc @AleksandreJapa contributed major AFM imaging: https://t.co/YhuYMMg95F All about centromeric DNA that self-organizes into hairpins, and CENP-B proteins that reshape centromeres by making DNA loops. https://t.co/VIYFRffT4Z 
The latest #CDlab publication is a book chapter by @Wayne_YangWW and myself in a new book on “Single Molecule Sensing Beyond Fluorescence” that was edited by @BowenWarwick, @FrankVollmerLAB, and @ReuvenGordon https://t.co/cbDfYGrICz 
Latest #CDlab paper online: “The archaeal division protein CdvB1 assembles into polymers that are depolymerized by CdvC” https://t.co/XcQ8nDL1yg With TEM & biochemistry, @abejota94 did an in vitro study of CdvB1, core protein of the unique Cdv cell division machinery of archaea. https://t.co/xwTkIWZqJn 
Congrats JK! It is wonderful to see all those former #CDlab members find positions all around the world, and build their own groups. https://t.co/5Z1sTThn1L
What you can do to help Ukraine in this war? Here’s some answers by @sergiipud (former #CDlab member, now assistant professor at @UTwente) spoken at a demonstration in Enschede today. #StopRussia #StopWar #StandForUkraine https://t.co/Rf2bDJoROm
And now, on to curling with the #CDlab… https://t.co/0nmhQiA2pt
New paper out in @NatureProtocols! https://t.co/lSeubRPR2A Here, @KevinDWhitley of @seamus_holden lab provides a
practical guide to implement 2 great new methods for high-resolution bacterial microscopy. #measurethemstandingup
Our #CDlab contributed mostly nanofabrication. https://t.co/jAhqlXPBfg 
@nanoscale_rsc @mitashabharadw NB Today’s paper was the result of a brainstorm idea, 8 years back at a group retreat, by @felixhol (then in our #CDlab, now PI at Pasteur). A simple but inspiring idea
which started a project
that turned out -of course- to be less easy than foreseen
but with a nice result today https://t.co/xZ3Zumy6uq
