Exploring life at the nanoscale
Refugees in the Netherlands with a MSc or PhD and relevant expertise in bio/nano/physics are welcome to contact me for a possible position in our #CDlab https://t.co/UxV0WyNBwc https://t.co/X8SP55XW2e
Heerlijke middag en avond gehad met alle leden van ons #CDlab: museum Voorlinden, kleiduiven schieten, beach volleybal en lekker een biertje en BBQ met alle partners en gezinnen bij een strandtent. Genieten! https://t.co/72FA0xWCm5 
Openings for 4 PhD students and 4 Postdoctoral researchers for research on intrinsically disordered proteins in the Netherlands: https://t.co/pPGZh80hJ8 Join the great biologists / computational group at Groningen,
or our biophysics #CDlab at Delft: https://t.co/KYPrWGziVE https://t.co/nUXyIaMcNN 
Postdoc and co-1st author @KevinDWhitley sketches the background story of our latest paper on the role of FtsZ treadmlling (https://t.co/AOnNDGudYl ) by @seamus_holden lab and our #CDlab: https://t.co/AlVQmwv6bx Artwork by @LizahvdA https://t.co/3e83eQ5F7j 
So why is FtsZ actually treadmilling in bacterial cell division? @KevinDWhitley, a joint postdoc with @seamus_holden & our #CDlab, sorted it out: This is essential for Z-ring condensation and septal constriction initiation. Great work, now at @BioRxiv: https://t.co/AOnNDGudYl https://t.co/tW1SD4tTCH
Nice:
@AnneMirabella, senior editor of @NatureComms, selected our paper on imaging the circular chromosome of a bacterium (https://t.co/8fE0vXvn8o ) as a highlight of the past year: https://t.co/mrhw2kDjka Work led by postdocs @fabaiwu and Sandro Japaridze at our #CDlab https://t.co/YsovBMem2x 
Latest paper online:
“A Mechanically Tunable Quantum Dot in a Graphene Break Junction” https://t.co/qhqf9ShcXo Great work by postdoc Sabina Caneva (now PI at Delft) where our #CDlab contributed in a collaboration with het labs of Herre van der Zant and Jaime Ferrer https://t.co/74SkAk6HGc 
Great!
Our latest #CDlab paper out today in @NatureComms: https://t.co/Qbi7imBqvV Postdoc Alexandre Japaridze visualized DNA replication and segregation in shape-manipulated bacteria, providing direct support for the train-track model with independent replication bubbles. https://t.co/7clsDZyjUk 
Science is an international enterprise without borders. Here’s our #CDlab with and without foreign immigrants. https://t.co/9VStjwXZRa 
Exciting finding:
The cohesin SMC complex is not only a DNA-loop extruder but can also induce phase separation! Now at @biorxivpreprint: https://t.co/7uWBzkJeE7 Check out this major surprise! Great work of postdoc @JeKyungRyu1 at #CDlab together with #Uhlmann & @Dmichiel1 labs. https://t.co/Ieb7nincD5 
Our latest #CDlab paper online now in @acsnano! pH-Controlled Coacervate-Membrane Interactions within Liposomes https://t.co/7Y60w5HVtk We show a new way to control phase condensation and study their interaction to membranes. Great work by master student #MartLast & @SiddhuLab. https://t.co/XqZaezbI65 
Hoogleraar @cees_dekker van de @tudelft ontving onlangs zijn derde @ERC_Research grant. Met de subsidie is hij van plan bottom-up een #chromosoom te bouwen. https://t.co/RbJUxVRTEt #genomeinabox #biophysics #CDlab https://t.co/sRSFkmIwv7 
Repeated news (since I forgot to include #CDlab hashtag to get it on the lab website) I got awarded a 3rd ERC Advanced Grant!
This allows us to work on SMC proteins & chromosome biophysics in the next 5 years. With a ‘genome in a box’ approach we’ll build a chromosome bottom up! https://t.co/Fv3BwLoiRi 
Hey, a non-corona tweet! Here’s our latest paper ‘Interplay between Confinement and Drag Forces Determine the Fate of Amyloid Fibrils’ in @PhysRevLett, nice work of Raffaele Mezzenga lab where our #CDlab contributed microstructuring by Sandro Japaridze: https://t.co/fYVYg8bGpg https://t.co/xrK1ySzQy4 
This afternoon we ate cakes at our #CDlab brought by postdoc Sabina Caneva who accepted an offer to start as an independent assistant professor at @tudelft3mE Congrats Sabina! #OntotheCanevaLab https://t.co/HCAD4bV9S9 
This website provides nice background info on the paper that our #CDlab published today in @Nature : https://t.co/cjVi1D3UJ4 and the attached animation sketches a cartoon view of the formation of Z loops
(or check this for over-the-top dramatic sound: https://t.co/8OwZcjHpgW ) https://t.co/RfOBhiDwAl 
Many surprises on SMC proteins in this @Nature #CDlab paper: https://t.co/groBGv2QYz :
– DNA loops can mutually exchange size.
– Condensins can pass one another!
– to form totally new type of ‘Z-loops’
– that can fill DNA gaps
– and can form a symmetric DNA-pulling dimer motor https://t.co/cJJfYVC8kO 
Just released: Our latest #CDlab paper in @Nature! “DNA-loop extruding condensin complexes can traverse one another” https://t.co/groBGv2QYz We’re proud on this cool discovery of a new type of DNA loops (Z loops) by postdoc @eugene_kim__, in this collaboration with #HaeringLab https://t.co/YwhP61j0Ig 
Our latest paper on @biorxivpreprint solves a long-standing question:
How do in vitro Min-protein Turing patterns relate to the in vivo pole-to-pole Min oscillations in cells? https://t.co/kOhISDyjlU Great collaboration of #CDlab with @PhysOfLifeLMU https://t.co/IA7gHCrlZm 
Yes! Federico is Dr. Fanalista now. Here’s the proud young doctor with the committee, right after his excellent defence.
A great day for the #CDlab. https://t.co/DLZCE4xWvh
