BioEmergences
Multiscale dynamics in morphogenesis
Matter and Complex Systems Laboratory (MSC),
MorphoDyn team, UMR CNRS 7057, Paris, France
Member of the Infrastructure Nationale France-BioImagerie
Université Paris Cité platform since 2022
We develop original methodologies and tools for the observation, quantification and theoretical in vivo multiscale and multimodal modeling of biological processes. Our strategies form the basis for predictive understanding of the morphogenesis of living organisms under normal and pathological conditions, and pave the way for new types of pharmacological and toxicological screening programs.
In this context, we carry out the following missions:
- anticipate the needs of integrative cell biology and developmental biology in terms of methods and tools
- offer collaborative services through an innovative multi-level imaging, image processing and modeling platform
- foster the growth of a trans-disciplinary community through the e-Laboratory Embryome-DC in the context of complex systems UNESCO UNITWIN Complex Systems-DC

M2 Internship 2027: How deformable is a red blood cell? Molecular rotors to probe cell mechanics in health and disease
Description To flow through the smallest capillaries, red blood cells must be highly deformable. In pathologies such as sickle cell anemia and spherocytosis, this ability is altered. Cell deformability is therefore a relevant parameter to diagnose and monitor these...
Molecular Rotors: From Newtonian Fluids to Functional Materials as Viscosity and Temperature Sensing Tools
Molecular rotors (MRs) are fluorescent molecules whose photophysical properties depend on their environment, making them valuable viscosity nanosensors. Interpreting their response in complex systems is challenging, however, since viscosity alone cannot describe such...
Internship/PhD on Hydrogels for adsorption of toxic metals
Proposal for master internship/PhD Hydrogels and composites with optimal efficiency and minimal environmental impact for adsorption of toxic metals The increasing demand for water due to technology and industrial activity has led to the use of hydrogels to treat...
Postdoc on the acoustics of membrane materials
As part of the Membranes project, the MSC laboratory is carrying out experimental research into the acoustic properties of membrane media, i.e. media whose internal structure contains thin layers of materials that can provide an original elastic response [1]. Examples...
