Over the past months, many PhDs, postdocs, and PIs from Building a Synthetic Cell (BaSyC) consortium have contributed to a podcast series about our efforts to build a synthetic cell. The Rathenau Instituut, in collaboration with designer Mies Loogman, created this 4-episode podcast series that is called ‘Herschept’ (In Dutch), and the final episode is […]
Four billion years ago, Life emerged from the prebiotic environment. We know many building blocks required for Life may have been present at this point. However, Life is more than the sum of its components. These collections of chemical building blocks had to work together to create Life using only information from their environment and […]

We are very excited to share our new paper on Analytical Chemistry entitled “A Bayesian Approach to Extracting Kinetic Information from Artificial Enzymatic Networks”. In this paper authors demonstrate how a Bayesian approach takes into account experimental and modelling uncertainties of enzymatic reaction networks to improve estimations of kinetic parameters. Congratulations to Mathieu Baltussen, Jeroen […]
Last week (May 16-17) two day off-site PhD Days event was hosted by PPIMM (PhD Panel IMM). During the event PhD students within the IMM gave entry-level presentations of their research. Our group was represented by Thijs de Jong and Miglė Jakštaitė. Besides this, PhD students were discussing variety of different topics like collaboration with […]
