Bronze Leaf award for sustainability to our lab
Our lab has been awarded a Bronze Medal for Sustainability within the Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF). Thank you to Anshu for leading our efforts.
Welcome to the Soft Active Matter Lab!
We are a group of biophysicists, physicists, chemists and microbiologists at UCL. We study artificial and biological soft active matter. We are interested in its fundamental behaviours and its applications to healthcare and materials science. We are always looking for bright people to join us at any level. Get in touch!
