DAAD schlarships for international PhD students (m/f/d)

Dr. Andrea Belluati - Biohybrid Systems for cellular engineering:
We seek a motivated PhD candidate to contribute to our research on the development and organisation of artificial cells into complex metastructures that mimic biological systems. The project focuses on enzymatically-synthesized hybrid polymer-lipid systems and dynamic transitions between membranised and coacervate-based architectures to create versatile synthetic cells. These constructs will be organised into higher-order tissue-like structures using assembly techniques, including microfluidics and stimuli-responsive elements, to enable adaptability and controlled interactions. The research further explores artificial symbiosis, integrating synthetic and natural cells for applications in tissue regeneration, drug delivery, and biomanufacturing. This interdisciplinary work bridges synthetic biology, polymer chemistry, and bioengineering to advance the design of adaptive, life-like materials.
