💫Thrilled to see our work on the front cover of Small!
This work explores how #polymers empower #SyntheticCells with programmable dynamics, enabling fusion, contraction and interactions with biological cells.

Huge thanks to Michela Vargiolu for the stunning artwork!

🎉So proud of Yeyang Sun for winning 1st prize for his poster presentation at the #London #Polymer #Group #Symposium! A fantastic recognition for his hard work. Congratulations 🥳
Thanks the organisers for an amazing day of (polymer) science! #LPG2025

Can we design polymeric systems that look like cells and have #dynamic #cell-like #behavours ? #YES! 🔥 our vesicles fuse, contract and even trap external objects.

Future astronaut in the making 👩‍🚀 Ready for take off 🚀 #inspiredby Samantha Cristoforetti @esa.int

From our #GUVs to yours, #MerryChristmas and happy #NewYear! 🎄✨

Nice event at the #Italian #Embassy in #London, exploring innovative designs with potential for space applications. 🚀🇮🇹 #SpaceTech #DesignForSpace

Hello, BlueSky!🌟 I'm a PI at #ImperialCollegeLondon, specializing in #cellmimicry. My group works on bottom-up #syntheticbiology, designing #biomimetic systems at the micro and nanoscale to mimic biological properties for insights into life-processes and biotechnological applications.
