Missions

As part of the SHAPINCELLFATE project (ERC-SynergyGrant), Dr Matthieu Piel's laboratory is recruiting a full-time junior researcher to contribute to research aimed at understanding how changes in cell shape affect the behaviour and function of immune and cancer cells. This is part of the laboratory's overall project to study cell proliferation and migration when space is limited, in particular how physical constraints affect the cell cortex, nuclear envelope, cell growth and cell division.
