Scientific Internship: Simulation of multiplexing in immune cell receptors using eGFRD
When your body gets infected, the immune system rapidly spreads the message using small signaling molecules that bind to receptor molecules at the surface of the immune cells. Intriguingly, different …
Scientific internship: mathematical modelling of pulse synchronization in C. elegans cells
All organisms must deal with various types of environmental stress, such as starvation, pathogens, and thermal shock. In the nematode C. elegans, many different types of stress response are mediated …
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 …
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: 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 …
The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for interns that will work on the 3D printing of soft robots. While typically these soft robots are fabricated by casting …
Scientific Internship: Emergent patterns in actuated materials
The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for interns at the Master level that will model complex and emergent behaviour in actuated materials via cellular automaton theory. As …
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, …
