Organizing space through liquid-liquid phase separation of biomolecules

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a central principle of subcellular organization. While membraneless condensates composition and function are increasingly understood, how cells control their...

From active particles to flexible, deformable, and motile superstructures : a new type of soft robot of robots

We study assemblies of rodlike robots made motile through self-vibration. When confined by circular scaffolds, dilute assemblies of these rods act as a 2D gas of particles. Above a critical surface fraction, some of...

Dynamical Properties of Dense Associative Memory

The dense associative memory is one of the basic modern Hopfield networks and can store large numbers of memory patterns. This model stores given patterns as attractors in its dynamics. While the stationary state...

Plant root growth in mechanically heterogeneous substrates

The interaction between plant roots and soils is an interdisciplinary issue that concerns many communities, from biophysics and agronomy to civil engineering and geophysics. The presence of zones of high mechanical...

Model of immunotherapy in microfluidic droplets

In this seminar I will show the approach we have developed to study the interactions between cytotoxic T cells and cancer spheroids in microfluidic droplets. I will describe the original technical approach, as well...

Multicellular development and collective behavior in the closest living relatives of animals

The origin of animals from unicellular ancestors has been a key step in our evolutionary origins. However, the cellular and molecular basis of this transition remain incompletely understood.  In the past few years,...

Microenvironmental cues and immune cell migration

Cell migration is a pivotal process in immunity. Indeed, appropriate immune responses (i.e. efficient but not detrimental to the host) rely on the coordinated actions of multiple cellular players. Each immune cell...

Microfluidic Flow Induced by Magnetically Actuated Microscopic Cilia

Lungs are lined with a thin layer of mucus which aids in clearing away foreign particulate. To remove this dirty mucus from the lung, bronchi are lined with cilia: small hair-like structures which beat, forcing the...
