Active bioinspired systems
We are investigating the assembly of active soft compartments to mimic cell-like structures. Project funded by Agence National de la Recherche (ANR).
Signalling Synthetic Cells
SIGSYNCELL is a European Doctoral Network aiming to develop synthetic cells as systems having the key characteristic function of living systems: the capacity to interact with their environment.
