AnnouncementFBI Special Events

The first meeting of the FBI Mechanobiology WG will take place on the 2 and 3 of December 2024 at the Centre for Integrative Biology (https://cbi-toulouse.fr/fr/) in Toulouse..

The programme will include a seminar by Matthieu Piel (Institut Curie/Institut Pierre Gilles de Gennes), presentations by participants and practical mechanobiology workshops (a choice of 3 workshops from a dozen: optical tweezers, bioprinting, microfluidics, AFM, Brillouin, finite element modelling, mechanical confinement, force measurements, etc.).

Registration is free, but places are limited and priority will be given to contributors whose abstracts have been selected.

The choice of workshops will be made at a later stage.

Preliminary Programme:

Monday, December 2nd

1pm: Welcome and seminar by Matthieu Piel

2-6pm: workshops

6pm: poster session and buffet
