Summer school Concepts and Methods in Mechanobiology

As mechanics appears more and more as an integral dimension of living systems, mechano-biology is a fast-growing field requiring the constant development of concepts and experimental methods. This summer school aims to give an overview of the current challenges in mechano-biology. The program will be composed of conceptual courses by experts of the field and practical workshops presenting cutting-edge experimental methods dedicated to measuring forces and mechanical properties on a variety of biological systems, from bacteria to animal tissues.
