Physical Interactions

Leaders : Marie-Laure Gallin-Martel (LPSC) et Jean-François Adam (STROBE)

This axis explores the physical interactions of living matter: physical interactions between cells, with their micro-environment and  with external cues as ways to probe and interact with healthy and pathological living systems. This includes cell mechanics in the broadest sense, i.e. both the complex mechanical properties of living matter and the ability of cells to process a mechanical signal in order to adapt their biological response. This axis also includes the interactions of living organisms with radiation with an applicative goal to propose innovative radiotherapies.
