FMS researchers publish in Nature Communications
Prof. Bert Meijer and prof. Maarten Merkx (TU/e and ICMS) and coworkers published an article in Nature Communications, where they demonstrate the ability to control protein activity by dynamic recruitment on supramolecular polymer platforms. This work demonstrates the strength of synthetic supramolecular polymers as an ideal protein recruitment platform and shows that the assembly of […]
Ben Feringa and coworkers publish in Nature Chemistry
Prof. Ben Feringa (RUG) and coworkers recently published an article in Nature Chemistry. They were able to demonstrate artificial muscle-like function by supramolecular hierarchical assembly of photoresponsive molecular motors. Please find the article here. […]
Wilhelm Huck and coworkers publish in Nature Communications
Professor Wilhelm Huck and coworkers (RU) recently published their work in Nature Communications. They present a method to control both the cell volume and shape of individual mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) within 3D microniches in a multitude of different geometries. These 3D microniches enable fundamental studies on the impact of biophysical cues on cell fate. […]
Linstead Career Award in Phthalocyanine Chemistry for Prof. Nolte
Professor Roeland Nolte (RU) was awarded the ‘Linstead Career Award in Phthalocyanine Chemistry’ by the Society of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines. The award is given every two year to highly distinguished scientists, for their quality and trajectory throughout their research life. Professor Nolte will receive the award during the International Conference on Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines (ICPP) to be held […]
Syuzi Harutyunyan receives ERC consolidator grant
Syuzanna Harutyunyan (RUG) has received a European Research Council (ERC) consolidator award of € 2 million for Lewis acid promoted copper catalysis to functionalize and dearomatize arenes. Professor Harutyunyan currently concentrates her research on the development of new and more efficient chemical processes that can be used in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical or agrochemical industries. […]

Patricia Dankers and Bert Meijer present at NEMO Kennislink Live
FMS members prof. Bert Meijer and prof. Patricia Dankers (TU/e, ICMS) together with prof. Marileen Dogterom (TUD) discussed in a NEMO Kennislink Live edition on ‘Kunnen we voor schepper spelen? Hoe de wetenschap leven probert na te maken’. More information can be found here and the live radio podcast can be found here (in Dutch). […]
Tom de Greef and coworkers publish in Nature Communications
FMS staff member Tom de Greef (TU/e) and coworkers recently published their work on hierarchical control of enzymatic actuators by using DNA-based programming in Nature Communications. To date their approach shows one of the most advanced DNA-based circuits in terms of complexity and versatility. […]
