New available job position at IMPETUX
If you are passionate about technology, and want to join our team and contribute to create the latest generation of scientific instruments, have a look at this new job offer.
SENSOCELL used to demonstrate the mechanism tissues use to regulate their sensitivity to mechanical signals
A new publication recently released shows how our OT platform SENSOCELL is used to demonstrate the mechanism tissues use to regulate their sensitivity to mechanical signals.
The labs of Pere Roca-Cusachs and Xavier Trepat (IBEC) use SENSOCELL to perform active microrheology experiments and investigate how laminin-integrin links influence mechanotransduction in mammary epithelial cells.
Postdoctoral job positions for 2 biophysicists available at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL)
Here we share a couple of Postdoctoral Fellowship offers in Biophysics and Synthetic Biology at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, Tallahassee, FL, USA.

SENSOCELL in Japan: at the Most Advanced Exhibition for Scientific/Analytical Systems and Solutions
SENSOCELL has been presented at the Most Advanced Exhibition for Scientific/ Analytical Systems and Solutions in Japan: JASIS , the JApan Analitical & Scientific Instrument Show. The JASIS WebExpo remains open until March 2022. If interested in information about SENSOCELL in Japanese, the online exhibition makes possible to access anytime from anywhere.
Soft condensed matter, nonlinear rheology and SENSOCELL
Delighted to share a new publication recently released that shows another interesting application of SENSOCELL.
In this work, Dr Ahmed et al. analyze the dynamics of a passive colloidal probe immersed in an active bath using Optical tweezers in combination with our force spectroscopy technology .
If you are interested in soft condensed matter and nonlinear rheology do not miss it ! .
Mechanical cues trigger neuronal activity and ion channel receptors
Finally! The latest paper from the Neurophotonics & Mechanical Systems Biology group at ICFO has been published in SCIENCE ADVANCES. In this work entitled “An asymmetric mechanical code ciphers curvature-dependent proprioceptor activity”, the mechanical activation of neuronal activity in C. elegans is studied by means of genome editing, modelling and direct force spectroscopy integrated in SENSOCELL optical tweezers.
