💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Engineers at #ETHZurich built microscopic #nanorobots – only six micrometers wide, smaller than a red blood #cell – that combine neural #stemcells with magnetic nanoparticles that generate electrical signals.

In #mice with severed spinal cords, the #bots stimulated nerve fibers to reconnect. After 28 days, the mice showed major improvements in walking and coordination. Human trials are still years away.

#introduction

Hi, I'm a biochemist enthusiastic about #enzymes, #biocatalysis and #ProteinEngineering & #ProteinEvolution.

I did my PhD with Florian Hollfelder at the #UniversityofCambridge working on #DirectedEvolution of enzymes using droplet #microfluidics. Currently, I am doing a postdoc at #ETHZurich, studying which properties determine a protein’s innovability towards new function.

Looking forward to learning about cool preprints/papers and finding a lively scientific community here!
