Job Description
Thesis Subject
Study of the physical and biological mechanisms governing the transport, adhesion, and migration of circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters in confined vascular networks. The project aims to understand the coupled roles of fluid shear stress and confinement on adhesion dynamics, mechanical adaptation, and metastatic potential, by combining microfluidics, biophysics, and cell biology. The candidate should have a background in fluid mechanics, biophysics, or bioengineering, with an interest in interdisciplinary approaches.
Your Work Environment
The PhD candidate will work in an interdisciplinary environment at the interface between fluid mechanics and cell biology, within a laboratory affiliated with CNRS and Aix-Marseille University. The project relies on experimental platforms in microfluidics and advanced imaging, with close interactions between physicists and biologists.
