The courses will be given by biophysicists specialized in the physics/biology interface in order to transmit the basic notions of the physics of biological systems and their applications
Brief description of the course.
Mechanical properties of cells and tissues
Transport properties of biological systems
Some tutorials based on case studies from scientific papers will be proposed for each part.
The practical implementation of the methods will be illustrated by a series of practical laboratory work in pairs:
1- Macro-AFM indenter to estimate the stiffness of hydrogels (Oscillators, Hooke and Hertz laws of mechanics)
2- Brownian motion and analysis of molecular diffusion (Einstein law of diffusion)
