Happy to announce that Dr. Nan Xue, our lab alumnus, has just launched a new lab at NTU, Singapore!
Congrats on this new chapter of your career, Nan!
His lab will explore the exciting intersection of soft matter and living systems, and is actively recruiting two PhD students!

(Some student out there is about to get an incredible mentor.)
Interested in research on soft and biological materials in Germany?
Our lab alumnus Lotta is starting her own group at RWTH Aachen 🎉Huge congrats, Lotta!
Her lab will focus on soft and biological materials towards biomedical and sustainable applications, and she’s looking for motivated PhD students!
Huge thanks to the amazing organizers and participants who made the meeting so inspiring! See you all in two years!

Two weeks ago the Softliv crew was at the 2025 Soft Condensed Matter GRC! 🍃
We shared our ongoing research, learned a ton from the community, and enjoyed many energizing discussions.
A highlight was reconnecting with our amazing lab alumni — nothing beats mixing science with good company! 💡👥
The pleasure was mutual! Lots more science to do!

🚨 New preprint!
Could living cells use phase transitions to process information?
We explore computational aspects of biomolecular condensation — from classification to control — while posing questions on expressivity (problems they solve) and learning (how they adapt).

New ChemRxiv preprint!
Check out this preprint to learn how to grow thick, dense polymer brushes directly from lipid membranes. The study offers new tools for glycocalyx mimicking and biomedical applications.
Congrats to Alex and the rest of co-authors!
