Welcome! I am a research scientist affiliated to the CNRS organization in France. Currently, I am working at Curie Institute in Paris, in the Physics of Cells and Cancer (formerly known as Physico-chimie Curie) Laboratory in Paris, France.
The general theme of my research is to understand how physical cues control the function of biological systems at the single cell and tissue scales. To this end, we develop tools and techniques inspired from soft matter physics to probe, control, or perturb our experimental systems. Our current projects are focused on understanding the role of mechanics during embryonic morphogenesis, and how mechanics and biochemical signalling work together to form structures during the early development of vertebrate axis.
