Exploring life at the nanoscale

DNA gets organised by entropic forces! Great to see the nice perspective paper by Handuo Shi and KC Huang that highlights our recent #CDlab paper by @fabaiwu and our valued collaborators, as well as the complementary exciting paper by @JacobsWagnerLab https://t.co/5R6ewLPNHk https://t.co/qJCkggIuqU

Our #CDlab has a new website! Please have a look to get an overview of our research, people, images, openings, news, etc: https://t.co/UxV0WyNBwc (I am curious what people think of this new site) https://t.co/p2zs8bNOAJ

Really nice: Our #CDlab PhD student Wayne Yang won an awardfor his presentation ‘Tweezing of Individual Proteins in Plasmonic Gold Nanoapertures’ at #icmat2019 in Singapore. It was awarded to him by Nobel Laureate @sirfrasersays https://t.co/PghGdchJ7w

Congrats to Oskar Franch, postdoc at our #CDlab, for winning the Kjeld Marcker PhD Prize from Aarhus University, which is awarded only to ‘exceptional, truly outstanding candidates’. So nice. Congrats! https://t.co/TzfPTdhAfG

Here’s an annotated video of core data of our latest #CDlab preprint https://t.co/XOPvOiTzug See how condensin extrudes a DNA loop; then a 2nd condensin binds and generates a loop in a loop; and then strikingly that condensin traverses the 1st one to form a Z loop along the DNA https://t.co/5PJzoKFlu2

Preprint of our #CDlab &HaeringLab on DNA loop extrusion by SMCs https://t.co/XOPvOiTzug Many surprises here: – Loops can mutually exchange size – Condensins can pass one another! – to form totally new type of ‘Z’ loops – that may fill DNA gaps https://t.co/NJnarsnZyl

Our Yoones is DR. Kabiri now, after successfully defending his PhD thesis ‘Imaging DNA nanostructures with advanced TEM techniques’ today! Congrats! #CDlab https://t.co/msRWWW0OXh

Just finished a very nice 90’ soccer game with the #KavliWarriors #QN #BN #CDlab students and postdocs. Was fun despite the very hot weather! https://t.co/daXt0j3jRg

Ook nietdigitaal leuk, gewoon lekker op ouderwets krantenpapier – het prachtige verhaal van ⁦@mkeulemans⁩ over het werk van ons #CDlab ea over floppy #barbapapa bacteriën. https://t.co/gF0T4AFe6o

De barbapapabacteriën komen!! Heerlijk artikel in de Volkskrant: https://t.co/3ZiBr9tjaA Nav recente papers van ons #CDlab: https://t.co/8fE0vXvn8o https://t.co/vTTgcqLkMj Met ook mijn touwtjes en whiteboardkrabbels met uitleg aan @mkeulemans die het allemaal prachtig opschreef https://t.co/Ur987uWc5X

Good to see: @tudelft starts a pilot on collecting PET bottles. Late but great step into the right direction. ? Hopefully soon extended to @TNWTUDelft #BioNanoscience & #CDlab https://t.co/O4OIKlhcGh https://t.co/zuHslVDEQK

Our latest paper online at @CurrentBiology, showing that bacterial chromosome size & position scale with cell size due to crowding in the finite confinement. Great collaboration between our #CDlab and the labs of Bela Mulder, Tom Shimizu and Suckjoon Jun. https://t.co/vTTgcqLkMj https://t.co/pY9J72A2bw

First paper of my PhD in lab of @cees_dekker. https://t.co/gGDD0dC7eJ Very happy about great teamwork together with friend & colleague Federico Fanalista! Also, the excellent collaborations with labs of @MarileenD and Gijsje Koenderink were crucial. #CeesDekkerLab #CDlab https://t.co/NwhqA5lnVN

And another paper from our #CDlab online, in @ecology letters: Bacteria in paper! Our ultralow-tech solution to cut landscapes by a pair of scissors for bacterial ecology studies: https://t.co/wnTEDd3Qjn Cool work by Felix Hol in a collaboration between Whitesides lab and us https://t.co/RLWeXXzaH5

Proud to see our latest paper online in @NatureComms now: https://t.co/yNajzmTNnS In this paper we managed to visualise the circular chromosome of E coli bacteria, revealing its interesting internal dynamic structures. Great work by @fabaiwu and Sandro Japaridze in our #CDlab https://t.co/Ob32mmXXSL

Our latest paper online: Electro-Mechanical Conductance Modulation of a Nanopore Using a Removable Gate https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.8b09266 … Great work by PhD student Laura Restrepo, in a nice broad collaboration with the labs of Chirlmin Joo, Giovanni Maglia, Aleksei Aksimentiev #CDlab

Even checken hoeveel mensen er in deze lift passen… #CDlab #grouptrip

Nano‐Optical Tweezing of Single Proteins in Plasmonic Nanopores Our latest paper online in Small Methods now: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/smtd.201800465 … Great work by @Dan_ShiXin and #DanielVerschueren in my #CDlab

And yet another paper online: ‘A microfluidic platform for the characterisation of membrane active antimicrobials’ Great work by Ulrich Keyser’s lab (@TheNanoporeSite) to which we could contribute some liposome technology #CDlab

New group format for some late friday afternoons: soccer, pizza, beer, #CDlab pub quiz
