CNRS Scientist I develop advanced AFMs integrated with fluorescence and X-ray microscopies and spectroscopies. My research focuses on liquid interfaces and biophysical properties, especially the mechanics of membranes and biomolecular condensates
Looking forward for new developments in our team ! Exciting projects in perspective from @rbquast.bsky.social, @chrisdoucet.bsky.social , @emmanuelmargeat.bsky.social , @costaluca.bsky.social The Luminosa includes 3color smFRET, PIE-FCCS, FLIMbee for fast FLIM & time resolved SMLM
Center for Structural Biology (CBS Montpellier)@cbsmontpellier.bsky.social · 8mo agoIt's Christmas in advance in the lab, as we recieved the first ever #Luminosa from @picoquant.bsky.social to be installed in France. It will be available on the PIBBS facility, as a combo with a Brucker Atomic force microscope for #mecanobiology, #smFRET, #FLIM, #FCS, #AFM applications and more. 🔬
We are hiring a 2-year postdoctoral researcher to join our Membrane Biophysics team at the CBS in Montpellier. Join us to reinvent Atomic Force Microscopy to image the most common interface on our planet: the surface of water @membranesbiophy.bsky.social @cbsmontpellier.bsky.social
At the @cbsmontpellier.bsky.social we equipped the JKP atomic force microscope, mounted on an inverted microscope, with photothermal excitation. This custom-built optical pathway focuses a laser onto the cantilever in our correlative AFM–fluorescence microscopy setup. @costaluca.bsky.social
