Physics and mechanics of biological systems
Who are we ?
We are a group of bio-physicists & engineers working at the interface between biology, physics & mechanics at CBS in Montpellier, France.
We explore the hidden links between mechanics, structure and dynamics of biological systems ranging from red blood cells and bacterial flagellar motors to bacterial biofilms and bioaerosols.
We are developing a toolbox of cutting-edge techniques, such as nano- and micro- manipulation, fast optical microscopy, holography, iSCAT, microfluidics, macro- and micro-rheology.
We enjoy new challenges & collaborations !
