Introduction

After a PhD at Université Paris Cité focusing on magnetic approaches for tissue mechanics and tissue engineering of the skeletal muscle, I joined the group as a postdoc to work on cartilage mechanobiology. More specifically, my research focuses on how environmental and mechanical cues determine morphology and fate of chondrocytes and how mechanical stimulation affects cell behaviour both at the cell scale and at the tissue scale.
