We may not have really squared the circle — but came close! 😉 In our @NaturePhysics paper with @FakhriLab light-triggered membrane excitability enables programmable shapes — a step toward engineering living matter. nature.com/articles/s4156… #biophysics #syntheticcell #softmatter

New paper from the lab🎈. Introducing Micro Immune Response On-chip (MIRO), a device that replicates tumors and their microenvironment to better understand responses to immunotherapies (cyan=immune cells, red=cancer, green=CAFs). @IBECBarcelona

The first research paper from our 'Mechanobiologics Lab' is out in @NanoLetters. This superb work is led by @S_ManasaVeena and well supported by @nano_jenn and Rudra Pratap, IISc. doi.org/10.1021/acs.na…

Open postdoc position in DyNaMo @FM4B_Lab to work on High-Speed AFM to explore the heterogeneity of biomolecular systems, with @felix_rico and @Lorena83, as part of a collaborative ANR-NSF funded consortium. Full offer here: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/283754 Please pass the message! 🔬👩‍🔬

I am thrilled to share that we’re preparing the upcoming #AFMBioMed2025 in #Barcelona for April 2025, and the abstract submission is already open events.ibecbarcelona.eu/afm-biomed-202… !! check it out !!

Last few days left to apply!

Thrilled to announce MechanoProDB, our new database storing the mechanical properties of proteins. mechanoprodb.ibdm.univ-amu.fr Article available here: academic.oup.com/database/artic… @bianca_habermann and @felix_rico #proteins #mechanics #database #afm #force_spectroscopy #unfolding

Proteins are classified by their SCOP fold and 3D structures can be visualized. Explore the unfolding forces at pulling rates, properties of the energy landscape, experimental conditions, unfolding pathways... all manually curated. You can contribute by uploading your data !

Yulia Fok from @FM4B_Lab closes the Bioimaging session and the @ESAB2024 congress talking about the effects of microbial glycolipids on the mechanics of lipid membranes. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Spread the news: we are hiring a PhD student for a funded project on #kidney physiopathology at the @CRBM_Montpel (Montpellier) and INL (Lyon). #interdisciplinary and transversal actions @CNRS #curvature Last days to apply! emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Doctora…

The first poster session of Yulia @GdrAQV days was a success!
