We are pleased to share that Jana El Husseiny presented her work “Unraveling Morphological and Biomechanical Responses to Stressors in Coccidian Oocysts”, and Gaurav Verma gave a flash talk titled “Molecular Geometry Controls Immune Response” at the CENTURI – Turing Centre for Living Systems Scientific Day, held on September 17th at Jardins du Pharo.

The event brought together current members and alumni, fostering networking, idea exchange, and discussions on future perspectives. The day concluded with a convivial cocktail evening at Villa Gaby.

On Friday, May 24, Arnauld Serge attended the Institute of Cancerology and Immunology Day at the Palais du Pharo, accompanying his two Master’s 2 students, Cyril Roty and Zacharie Nakache, who presented a poster detailing their research project titled: ”Imaging T-ALL cell transmigration: therapeutic potential of an anti-RANKL antibody to limit dissemination”.

Building on the success of the virtual (2021) and hybrid (2023) events, the third edition of the hybrid workshop on ImmunoBiophysics: From Fundamental Physics to Understanding the Immune Response took place from 27 April to 2 May 2025 in Les Houches, France.

This year’s workshop focused on immune cell regulation from a distinctly physical and mechanical perspective, with the aim of advancing opportunities for translational impact in human health and disease.

In our laboratory, Pierre-Henri Puech, one of the co-organizers, opened the conference with a foundational talk on immunobiophysics. Philippe Robert was among the invited speakers and delivered a presentation titled “CD16 Transmits Defined Piconewton Forces During Natural Killer Cell Activation.” Our Ph.D. student, Gaurav Verma, also contributed to the event by presenting a poster on his current research project titled “Edit-T-cell Spreading Dynamics Mediated by New Bispecific Agents“.
