MasterNanosciences, nanotechnologies

This internship aims at developping an innovative ane versatile microfluidic chip,  that will allow to investigate and quantify the correlation between the mechanical history of cells and their fate, including cell death, growth kinetics, membrane fluidity, and other parameters.

Responsibilities:
- Design and fabricate a cutting-edge microfluidic chip using advanced microfabrication techniques.
- Optimize microfluidic channels to ensure precise and consistent flow of cellular samples.
- Collaborate with experienced cell biologists to test the microfluidic chip with various cell lines and analyze the obtained results.
- Study cellular responses to different mechanical stimulations applied by the microfluidic chip, employing advanced techniques in cellular biology analysis.

This internship is conducted in collaboration with the Laboratoire Rhéologie et Procédés (LRP, Grenoble), specializing in microfluidics and complex fluid flows, and the Institute of Chemistry and Molecular and Supramolecular Biochemistry (ICBMS, Lyon), renowned for its expertise in cell biology. You will have the opportunity to work alongside experts in the field and contribute to the advancement of mechanical analysis in cellular bioprocesses.

This internship provides a unique platform for personal and professional growth, enabling you to expand your knowledge of the mechanical interactions within biological cells and their physiological behavior.
