Postdoctoral Position: Mechanotyping of Complex Cellular Systems

We invite applications for apostdoctoral research positionfocused on themechanotyping of complex cellular systems, combiningcutting-edge nanotechnological tools,advanced cell biology, andsystems-level quantitative biology. The project aims to uncover how mechanical properties, forces, and physical phenotypes integrate with molecular networks to regulate the function of complex cellular systems across multiple biological scales.

Project background

Cells are mechanically heterogeneous systems composed of proteins, membranes, and compartments with distinct physical properties. In parallel, they continuously sense and respond to diverse mechanical cues from their environment, including adhesion, stiffness, tension, shear, pressure, and confinement. These cues are integrated across wide spatial and temporal scales, from nanometers to tissues, to regulate collective cellular behavior. Mechanobi...
