At the new Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin (MPZPM) in Erlangen, five Core Groups will conduct research to meet the most urgent medical challenges facing our society. Get to know the group ›Immunophysics‹ led by Prof @VasilyZaburdaev 👉 bit.ly/MPZPM-Immunoph…
🔬 Fresh off the press! #MPQC #Biofilms theme Associated Investigator Liraz Chai (@lab_chai) has just released a new #publication, "How bacteria actively use passive physics to make biofilms." 🧫 Discover the fascinating insights into bacterial behaviour in the full article: Read…
To all #Heidelberg area friends/colleagues: our son who is starting his studies @UniHeidelberg in the coming winter semester is searching for an (shared) apartment - any relevant tips/info would be appreciated! Thanks and feel free to distribute!
Super excited to share this perspective on "How bacteria actively use passive physics to make biofilms" @PNASNews - such a rewarding writing with Liraz @lab_chai and Roberto Kolter @HebrewU @MPZ_PhysMed @UniFAU @harvardmed @spp2389 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
We discuss complex biophysical processes happening in the extracellular milieu of biofilms, from liquid-liquid phase separation, to glass transition and biomineralization and how the crosstalk of bacteria with this milieu orchestrates biofilm organisation in space and time!
Bakteriopolis in Dresden. Come visit us and discover the fascinating world of bacteria and more through our workshops suitable for everyone! @susanne_thiele @mikrobenzirkus @artLaboratoryB @artexvivo
A report on the exciting Mikrob22 meeting in Dresden - we discuss how bacteria and eukaryotes meet and may mutually benefit understanding of each other, organised by @lab_chai, Elizabeth Shank, @VasilyZaburdaev @ASMicrobiology @JBacteriology doi.org/10.1128/jb.000…
"Where bacteria and eukaryotes meet" with Liraz @lab_chai and Beth Shank summarising #Mikrob22 conference @mpi_pks on what #biofilms and #tissues might have in common: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… Big thanks to all participants and discussion leaders! @spp2389 @UniFAU @MPZ_PhysMed
Happy to share or work together with Liraz @lab_chai on how "Residual cells and nutrient availability guide wound healing in bacterial #biofilms". Fantastic collaboration with Susann Müller (@UFZ_de) and Thorsten Mascher (@tudresden_de) from @spp2389 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
How to figure out mechanical properties of whole organisms, #tissues or #biofilms just by shaking them and observing with good camera? Optical time-harmonic #elastography. Great collab w. @lab_chai, Ingolf Sack @UniFAU, @MPZ_PhysMed @ChariteBerlin @spp2389 arxiv.org/abs/2312.07380
The @BBCNews gets it’s arse handed to it again. This time incredibly politely by an international law expert who gift wraps the BBC’s arse for them and hands it over with a card saying: “Dear BBC - please find enclosed your arse”
Join me as I deliver remarks on the terrorist attacks in Israel.
🎉Congratulations David N. Azulay (@n_azulay) on winning the prestigious 2022 Israel Chemical Society (ICS) Prize for an Excellent Graduate Student!🏆 Well deserved!!!👏 #GraduateStudentAchievement #ProudLab
