Sylvain Gigan (LKB)
Complex heterogeneous materials, that scatter light in a highly complex way, present a huge challenge for imaging (think of seeing inside or through milk or biological tissues) and a very interesting playground to...
Stephan Uphoff (Oxford)
Evolutionary processes are driven by diverse molecular mechanisms that act in the creation and prevention of mutations. It remains unclear how these mechanisms are regulated because limitations of existing mutation...
Adrian Daerr (MSC
How systems are endowed with migration capacity is a fascinating question with implications ranging from the design of novel active systems to the control of microbial populations. Bacteria, which can be found in a...
Anne-Marie Delort (Institut de Chimie de Clermont-Ferrand)
Bien que les microorganismes aient été découverts par Pasteur dans l’air, ce n’est que récemment qu’ils ont fait l’objet d’études dans le compartiment atmosphérique. Notre équipe s’intéresse plus spécifiquement aux...
Marianne De Paepe (Institut Micalis
While it is clear that bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, abound in all bacterial communities, their role in the ecology of these communities remains poorly understood. In particular, in the gut...
Morgan Chabanon (UCSD)
Cellular lipid bilayers are found to display incredibly diverse shapes and dynamics, both at the plasma membrane and at membrane bound organelles. To understand the relationship between the complex physical...
Severine Atis (Harvard)
Transport phenomena shape and constantly reorganize materials at every scale, influencing their dispersion, segregation and clustering. Range expansions coupled with fluid flows are of great importance in...
Thomas Surrey
During cell division, the bipolar spindle self-assembles and segregates the genetic material of the cell. For this task, microtubules are arranged in space and time by motor proteins and microtubule bundling...
Victor Sourjik (Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology
Bacterial motility and chemotaxis are typically viewed as single-cell behaviors, used by individual bacteria to identify conditions that are favorable for growth. For the well-studied model Escherichia coli, we...
Andreas Walther (Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg)
Synthetic self-assembling systems have largely been developed with a focus on equilibrium structures. Such structures have become switchable by integration of responsive elements, which is the basis of present-day...
