🧬 A gentler way to pump blood for life support! We report a new approach to blood pumping for ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) that uses magnetic liquid interfaces instead of solid mechanical parts to move blood.
Truly humbled and honoured to receive this from the Honourable President of India at Rashtrapatibhavn grateful to @iiserkol @dcsiiserkol see our discoveries at ddaslab.com

Online now: Non-equilibrium autopoietic vesicles driven by intrinsic catalysis
Non-equilibrium autopoietic vesicles driven by intrinsic catalysis
Complexity in living organism thrives on emergent functions operating far from equilibrium. Here, we show the spontaneous generation of vesicles via self-assembly of bolaamphiphile building blocks accessed from the condensation of a dipeptide and an ester. These vesicles acquire catalytic capability and establish a chemical reaction network to self-sustain under non-equilibrium conditions. This work can offer significant insights for developing life-inspired materials capable of functioning autonomously.

Glad to be part of this exciting research project. Thanks to @ddaslab.bsky.social @chem @iiserkol This study shows how simple molecules can create dynamic compartments using feedback-controlled autopoietic behaviour. Please keep an eye out for more interesting findings from the group!

Life is not based on specific material ingredients since there is a constant turnover of the constituent parts. Rather, it is based on functional behavior. Irrespective of the material composition, if we can replicate the essential functions, we have life!
We have 3 openings for ambitious postdocs or PhD students in our #CDlab - for exciting single-molecule biophysics research on nuclear pores, peroxisomes, or archaeal divisomes. Check it out and apply: ceesdekkerlab.nl/come-join-us/ RT=nice!
We have a PhD position on reaction networks driven by aminoacyl phosphate esters funded from @ercresearch.bsky.social at @uni-freiburg.de. Deadline for application is 20/03/25. More information can be found here: static1.squarespace.com/static/5fc39...
Looking for a stimulating conference on physical-organic chemistry ? We are organizing the 20th edition of ESOR from 9-12 September 2025 in Padova, Italy. Visit www.esor2025.com for info. Follow us on @esor2025.bsky.social to stay informed. #Chemsky. Reposts appreciated.
A long hard day. Some laughs, some tears, some Burns, and lots of stories shared. Plenty of toasts at dinner this evening. Goodbye Fraser, sleep well.
Thank you Andreas, for the fantastic talk and for taking the time to visit us @iiserkol
Andreas Walther@waltherlab.bsky.social · 2y agoFantastic short visit IISER Kolkata with Dibyendu Das. Sharing some insights into metabolic artificial cells and enjoying the campus and people.
