Here are some images of our new Mechanobiology Laboratory and the view outside on the shores of Lac Léman and the Alps. The lab was just renovated and we have plenty of space to bring our equipment in. Very happy day!

We would like to thank everyone who applied for the PhD position in our lab. We greatly appreciate your time and effort to apply with us. Now the PhD positions are closed and we will get in touch with two selected applicants shortly.

Currently, we have two PhD positions in The Mechanobiology Laboratory. The positions are open to everyone who holds a MSc degree or equivalent with documented experience in plant cell and molecular biology, biophysics or engineering/computer science (open to all nationalities, no French proficiency required). Get in touch! Please see info for non-French-speaking students.

The Mechanobiology Laboratory investigates how mechanical heterogeneities shape plant development, with a focus on growth regulation, cell wall properties, and the physical principles that guide tissue patterning. Our group brings together a dynamic and interdisciplinary team of friendly and interactive people who combine quantitative biology, molecular approaches, microscopy, and computational modeling. The lab will start … More Welcome to The Mechanobiology Lab!
