Scientific Internship: Modelling microtubule organization in tip-growing cells
Microtubules are one of the key components of the cytoskeleton of all higher organisms. Their versatility in adapting to different cellular functions is underpinned by their unique stochastic dynamical behaviour.
Scientific Internship: Fluidic control of soft robots
The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for interns at the Master level that will work on the development and fundamental understanding of soft robots, i.e. robots made …
Scientific Internship: Understanding Regulation of Actin Dynamics
Actin filaments are one of the key components of the cytoskeleton of all higher organisms. They form dynamic networks involved in mechanical integrity, motility and transport. Our group is interested …
Scientific Internship: Crystal Structures by Design
Can we program particles to self-assemble into regular crystal structures by properly designing the interactions between these particles? This is a question that belongs to a novel class of inverse …
Scientific Internship: Living cells as information-processing machines
Biochemical networks consisting of proteins and DNA are the analog computers of life. In this project, you will investigate how these networks allow living cells to process information reliably.Living cells, …
Scientific Internship: Modelling confined plectonemic DNA
Cell division is one of the hallmarks of life. To achieve this, cells must not only duplicate the genetic information carried in their chromosomes, but also properly divide the latter …
