LJP at a glance

LJP research activities consist in Physics at the interface of with Biology and Medicine. We develop new experimental approaches to probe complex biological systems at different scales, and we develop bio-inspired systems to develop new concepts or to improve our understanding of given biological mechanisms. A large part of our research aims at exploring the response of a biological system to external perturbations. Finally, the LJP includes a theoretical component closely interacting with experimenters.

Cell Mechanics and Mechanobiology: Micropipette-Based Developments and Applications to Immune Cells, Parasites, and Photot
By Julien Husson - LadHyX, CNRS, Ecole polytechnique, Institut polytechnique de Paris, Palaiseau, France
March 10, 2026 at 11:00AM - Laboratoire Jean Perrin - Campus Jussieu - T 22-32- 4e et. - P407
Understanding the mechanical properties of cells requires quantitative, time-resolved techniques adapted to non-adherent biological objects. I will present developments around a profile ...
