We
are currently looking for a
candidate for Master 2 level internship on optical
characterization of the LCN network. This project is at
the
Physics/Medical interface and could equally fit with a person with a
background in Physics or Materials Science who wishes to strengthen his
knowledge in imaging with biomedical perspectives, or with a biologist
with a good background in microscopy wishing to develop new analytical
concepts for the analysis of complex networks as neurons or vascular
ones. Download the offer (ici
pour l'offre en français).

Seminaire
Dautreppe "Matière et Symétries, de l'atome aux
systèmes complexes" starts now, with a great
programme: from physics to soft matter and biology, from
molécules to tissues, from structure to
properties, what does symmetry tell us and how ?
Lectures will be accessible through the
workshop web-site. This year, we put a lot of effort in
organizing lectures accessible to a broad audience of physicists,
biologists and materials scientists, so you should easily fit in !

First
(for us) synchrotron experiment of coherent
X-ray diffraction imaging (CXDI)
on dentin,
that was not an easy one... more news and results soon ^^

Sea
urchin crystal
structure revealed at the "Fête de la Science".
3 days of demonstrations and experiments around rocs, gems to
understand how the link between the extraordinary 3D macroscopic
morphology of sea-urchin spicules and it's single crystal X-ray
diffraction behaviour. This event will be dedicated to scholars on
02-03/10, but open to the general public on saturday 04/10, so you are
welcome to drop by to make your own idea on the wonders of
biomeralization.

After 5 years at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides in Orsay, I've now moved to the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire de Physique in Grenoble as of 01/2012. This brings me closer to my main collaborators at the ESRF and in Lyon and opens new oportunities at the frontiers of physics and medicine in a very dynamic scientific environment.
Many thanks for all to my former team and colleagues !!! Of course, science doesn't stop at the door of the lab, so you will surely see me around... also, please don't hesitate to pick up the phone !
Now looking forward for new exciting
science with my new team
!
