On Wednesday, 10th May, Mar successfully defended her Ph.D. project titled “Fast phenotyping of cell mechanics in the inflammatory response” in front of a jury composed of experts in the field: Nils Gauthier, Laura Picas, Jochen Guck, Jean-Luc Pellequer, Réjane Rua and Nathalie Pujol. We are delighted to share the news of her exceptional accomplishment and the invaluable contributions she has made to our lab’s research. Mar Eroles embarked on her Ph.D. journey as a student of the prestigious European ITN Phys2BioMed program to investigate the mechanics of monocytes and macrophages under hyperinflammatory conditions. Congratulations Mar and we can’t wait to see what you achieve next!
