This week Oliver’s goodbye party was organised in our department. Oliver Maguire was part of the Prebiotic origin of reaction networks subgroup. Oliver’s former students Iris, Josien and Mathieu organised a quiz about Oliver and here are some interesting facts: during his 6-year stay in the Huck group as a postdoc, Oliver supervised 11 students and measured around 10 000 NMR samples!! It’s going to be quite difficult to beat these numbers!
Thank you Oliver for all the great discussions, work and jokes! We wish you all the best for your future career. You for sure will be missed!

The Late Night Conference with Wilhelm Huck is back again with its exciting new Season 3. Just like last season, we are bringing it to you LIVE from Radboud University Nijmegen with a studio audience hosted by Prof. Wilhelm Huck. Of course, we will still follow our tradition of live streaming so that you can enjoy these fascinating lectures from your home, in the lab or on the bus! In this new season, we will dive deep with the exciting topic of Chemistry and AI. From complex learning to using AI for drug discovery, we have a range of topics covered with our speaker lineup!
The second episode of Late Night Conference with Wilhelm Huck is on Tuesday 14th March, 20h00 CET!
This episode will be streamed live on our YouTube channel Late Night Conference with WH (don’t forget to subscribe & watch our previous exciting episodes!) from Giga-Bite at Huygensgebouw in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, where we are excited to have you in our audience!!
Our second episode is all about organic chemistry; with a twist. Robert Pollice, Assistant Professor at the University of Groningen, will join us on the 14th of March to share how advances in computing and robotics can revolutionise organic chemistry by accelerating the design of new catalysts.
Robert’s research can be described as nothing but state-of-the-art and ambitious. In his quest to design molecular catalysts for organic reactions, he is fusing the realms of simulation and lab automation to achieve accelerated discovery of new catalysts. Are you excited? We are!

This week we said goodbye to our postdoc Jessie van Buggenum who stayed in the group for a few years! Jessie was part of the Multi-omic measurements of cellular dynamics subgroup and was working on cellular signalling networks. Besides the hard work in the lab and behind the computer analysing the data, Jessie was the person who was taking all the group member pictures throughout the years! For who future career Jessie decided to go to industry.
Thank you Jessie for all the great time in the group and we wish you all the best in the future career! We will miss you!

New paper was published by our group members Erik van Buijtenen and Jessie van Buggenum together with collaborators Wout Janssen, Paul Vink, Maurice J.M. Habraken, Laura J.A. Wingens, Andrea van Elsas and Hans van Eenennaam! Here we use integrated multi-omic single-cell sequencing technologies to detect and quantify immunoglobulin subclass-specific surface markers, transcriptional profiles and signaling transduction pathway components. We tested whether human antibody secreting cells (ASCs) that only seem to differ in its ability to secrete different IgM, IgA, or IgG antibodies, exhibit other differences that characterize these different ASCs. Our approach detected differential expression of plasmablast and plasma cell markers, homing receptors and TNF receptors. In addition, differential sensitivity was observed for the different cytokine stimulations that were applied during in vitro differentiation. Taken together, our integrated multi-omics approach allowed high-resolution phenotypic characterization of single cells in a heterogenous sample of in vitro differentiated human ASCs.

Our opening episode features Dr. Tal Kachman, an Assistant Professor of Donders Centre for Cognition at Radboud University. Tal’s research covers a broad range of complex problems, like Computational Game Theory, and Financial and Quantum Machine Learning. Sounds… complex. Right? Join us on the 14th of February to learn how AI can be used to predict some of the most complex challenges known to humanity!

Nikita, Mathieu, Lía and Wilhelm together with Max Derks from Laboratory of Spectroscopy and Catalysis and Labmate published a new paper on enzyme-based computation! They used proteolytic enzymatic networks immobilised in hydrogel beads and compartmentalised in a CSTR as a novel platform for molecular information processing. They demonstrated robustness of the platform in performing the fundamental arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction and multiplication. This analogue logic approach goes beyond the Boolean gates and has potential applications in future bioelectronic devices. The concept of analogue logic helps to generalize our understanding of computation in catalytic networks.Congratulations!!
Last Friday our postdoc Kinga Matuła said goodbye to the group as she is now fully focused on her new start-up called QurieGen! We want to thank Kinga for all those great years in the Huck group and wish you all the best in the future! We will miss you!
