Coacervates and Soft Interfaces
Radboud University
Institute for Molecules and Materials
Research themes
Our approach is multidisciplinary, interfacing chemistry with soft matter physics, chemical biology and cell biology. Dedicated organic chemistry, microfluidics, protein expression and cell culture labs, and analysis facilities with all types of standard and confocal microscopy setups, are present in the department.
Prebiotic coacervates
How can chemical reactions give rise to something we recognize as being alive?
Biomolecular condensates
Phase separation is one of the key ways cells organize their internal physiology. How do these condensates influence life?
