Smart-Membranes - Andrieu-Brunsen Lab
We are an interdisciplinary, dynamic team in Chemistry searching for new nanoporous materials, manufacturing and functionalization methods to push the limits of nanopore transport with benefits in the areas of water management, sensor technology, and synthetic biology.
Compartmentalized cascade reactions are developed aiming to design artificial cells. To enable chemical information processing between synthetic or biological compartments we aim to integrate synthetic nanopores to control molecular transport in time, and thus to design chemical information exchange between compartments. The porous materials controlling transport can be mesoporous films, particles or printed compartments. Precisely controlled concentration-time profiles of signaling molecules between compartments for signalling require a precise nanopore fabrication, nanopore functionalization, e.g. using polymers, and nanopore device integration. Based on our expertise on nanopore functionalization and transport control, we aim to develop functionalized nanoscale porous ceramic materials allowing temporally controlled molecular transport or release. We aim to interface such nanoporous materials with biological cells or chemical reactions and to integrate them into multi-compartment materials or microfluidic devices.
Candidades should have experience in synthetic (polymer) chemistry, sol-gel chemistry or in characterization of polymers at interfaces, porous materials and release or transport processes. The ability to work in an interdisciplinary team, a very high degree of independence, the ability to develop your own ideas, a very high level of motivation are desired.
