Polymer GUVs for Studying Compartmentalized Biological Systems
Biological systems use compartmentalization strategies to generate microenvironments with controlled biochemical compositions. They serve as a protective method from undesired influences from outside of the compartment and to keep diffusing elements in close proximity.Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV
We employ microfluidics to create double emulsion templated giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). By adjusting the inner composition, whole enzymatic cascades, smaller vesicles, and living organisms can be encapsulated within GUVs. Using this technology, we try to build compartmentalised biological systems and create artificial cells. We offer several projects in which you will be exposed to many aspects of microfluidics, biological cascades, vesicles and their potential applications.

The goal of this project is to use GUVs to create artificial cells and to understand the interplay between biological systems and polymers.
