📣 #JobAlert The @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social of @uni-freiburg.de invites applications for a position as Head of the Life Imaging Center (LIC) – the core facility for light microscopy. ❗ Application Deadline: 6 September, 2026 🔗 kurzlinks.de/2126 #Biology #LightMicroscopy #Imaging

We built a a self-dividing synthetic cell ! Check out this #CDlab preprint on BioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Great work by 1st author Charu Sharma who encoded dynaminA in a genome and expressed that in liposomes that then divide into daughter cells! Collaboration with Koenderink lab!

5/5 Our paper reveals how young lateral roots establish their initial growth direction. Besides, it also highlights something equally important: Science is cumulative, collaborative, and built through mentorship — from group leaders to PhD candidates to undergraduate students.
