Missions
This post-doc is an experimental research work aiming at functionalizing micro-compartments and integrating them in a bottom-up approach to obtain miniaturized experimental systems mimicking living systems (here focusing on minimal metabolic functions). In the long term, we want to create large populations of microsystems to assemble them and analyse their collective properties.

Work Context
The work will be carried out at the Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal CRPP-UMR5031 in the Soft Micro Systems team (sms.crpp-bordeaux.cnrs.fr/) led by Jean-Christophe Baret. The microfluidic developments will be carried out under the supervision of Thomas Beneyton, CNRS research engineer.
The team has received financial support from the Simone and Cino del Duca 2021 Foundation and the Académie des Sciences for this project.
The project is part of the research theme of the Impulse Research Network of the University of Bordeaux Frontiers of Life (https://www.u-bordeaux.fr/Actualites/De-la-recherche/Labellisation-des-Reseaux-de-Recherche-Impulsion), coordinated by JC Baret
