It's today at 16:00 CET!
Prof. Rumiana Dimova will talk about "Phase separation in biological systems: from membranes to biomolecular condensates". The first 1h of the lecture is open to the public.

Looks like a great @embo.org workshop coming in September: “Lipid Code to Life”, with a who’s who of lipid #biochemistry… (e.g. @dimovalab.bsky.social @holthuislab.bsky.social @sciezgin.bsky.social etc ) More info and registration: meetings.embo.org/event/26-lip... #lipids #biophysics
It was exciting to step outside our own research bubble on membranes & vesicles 👀 and engage with sustainable & responsive materials design, soft matter under confinement & AI.
Exactly the kind of event that reminds you why being part of a broader scientific community matters. 🔬

🧵1/5 ❄️Last week, our lab had the pleasure of attending a wonderful Winter School in the Austrian Alps🏔️⛷️
Huge thanks to the organizers - students and postdocs from three fantastic groups:
🔬Silvia @vignolinilab.bsky.social
🔬Nico @bruns-lab.bsky.social
🔬Ulli Steiner @merkleinstitute.bsky.social
Want to learn more about membrane-condensate interactions? Maybe the lecture series of our @comeincell.bsky.social doctoral network would be of interest to you.
👉 the next lecture is on February 16: www.comeincell.org/2026-02-16-r...
Using hyperspectral imaging with ACDAN and phasor plotting, we map phase-specific dielectric properties.
Condensates can exhibit a wide range of permittivities from water- to oil-like.
Thanks to Elias Sabri and Agu @mangiarotti.bsky.social !

How do biomolecular condensates🫧 interact with membranes? We show that dielectric permittivity contrast between coexisting phases directly governs condensate wetting behavior.

Permittivity matters.🧪🫧

It was a great honor to deliver a plenary lecture at the 49th Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Biophysical Society! 🇧🇷

Loved the friendly atmosphere and the gorgeous surroundings in Campinas @unicampoficial.bsky.social!
Huge thanks to the organizers!
