Wouter Richard KarthausTeaching & PhD PhD Students Jillian Rose Love, Estelle Deby, Ester Simkova, Turan Badalli Courses Cellular and molecular biology II BIO-207 This course is aimed to familiarize students with the 3D organization of a eukaryotic cell, its compartmentalization, how cellular compartments communicate together and how a cell communicates with its environment. The related molecular mechanisms will be discussed. Practical - Karthaus Lab BIO-616 Students will learn 1) how organoids c

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle BitbolI was trained in physics, and always had a strong interest in biology. I am broadly interested in understanding biological phenomena in a quantitative way, through physical concepts and mathematical and computational tools. I investigate the relative impacts of optimization and historical contingency in biological evolution, both at the scale of protein sequences and at the scale of microbial populations.Here is my research group website.Curriculum vitae Here is my complete CV.

Teaching & PhD PhD Students Mustafa Öztürk, Nadia Grenningloh Courses Mechanics of cells and tissues BIO-300 In this course, students will explore how mechanical stimuli shape molecular responses, cell behaviors, and tissue architecture, with an emphasis on regeneration and disease. Basic image analysis tools will be introduced to determine cellular and tissue properties. Practical - Ga Junrui ChenJunrui Chen achieved his BSc. degree in Mechanism and its automation from Beihang University (BUAA), Beijing, China in 2017. Meanwhile, he also received a second degree in Business administration and management. He completed his MSc in Mechatronics and Information Technology at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, in 2021. During his master's studies, he participated in a project at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BIT) to optimize an interface for ECG/PLT signal detection using MATLAB
