Interplay between shape, tension and adhesion during early cell spreading
Each cell of an animal has the same genome. Nevertheless, those cells can express many different phenotypes, associated to different shapes and architectures. It has... -
Design of a Planar Resonant Force Sensor with an application to Cell Mechanics
In the future, credit-card sized and self-contained platforms that will be capable of measuring the Young's modulus of various types of cells in a high throughput... -

The interaction of healthy and cancerous cells with nano- and microtopography
This thesis deals with the differential response of healthy and cancerous cells to surface topography at the nanoscale and the microscale. Using a statistical method... -
Dynamics of epithelial gap closure using microfabrication and micromechanical...
Most cells migrate under the appropriate conditions or stimuli; understanding the mechanisms of migration, the players involved, and their regulation, is pivotal to... -
Divided media based simulations of tissue morphogenesis
Tissue morphogenesis is a key point remaining weakly understood in development biology. In particular, whatever the species considered (animals and vegetables), most... -
