RESEARCH FIELD(S)1 Mucociliary epithelium, cilia, cell and tissue polarity, live imaging, image processing, metachronal waves, flow patterns, collective motion, active matter, Lattice Boltzmann simulations JOB DESCRIPTION  The purpose of this PhD project is to generate an experimental and theoretical framework to study cilia-driven fluid flow in vivo. The project brings …

RESEARCH FIELD(S)1 Dynamic systems, molecular oscillators, ATP and GTP, biophysics, mathematics and computational biology, actin cytoskeleton JOB DESCRIPTION  Peyer’s patches are the main inductive sites of intestinal immunity, which is crucial for host defense against pathogens but also for regulation of the microbiota and tolerance to food proteins. Both right …

RESEARCH FIELD(S)1 Dynamic systems, molecular oscillators, ATP and GTP, biophysics, mathematics and computational biology, actin cytoskeleton JOB DESCRIPTION  Molecular machines and motors allow cells to perform different functions by using the energy produced by ATP or GTP hydrolysis. While some proteins, such as the myosins in our muscles, convert ATP …
