Physics and mechanics of biological systems

Team leaders : Manouk Abkarian et Francesco Pedaci

We are a group of biophysicists and engineers working at the interface between biology, physics and mechanics at CBS in Montpellier.

We explore the hidden links between the mechanics, structure and dynamics of diverse biological systems ranging from red blood cells and bacterial flagellar motors to bacterial biofilms, aerosols and more.
 
We are developing a toolbox of cutting-edge techniques, including nano- and micro-manipulation, rapid optical microscopy, holography, iSCAT, microfluidics, macro- and microrheology.
