The mechanics of the living plays a paramount role in a plethora of biological processes. To dissect and understand the role of mechanics in living systems, an interdisciplinary community of scientists works together and develops/combines a large spectrum of technologies and tools.

The aim of the symposium is to gather researchers tackling the mechanics of the living from different scales. We believe this to be a unique opportunity to foster exciting and insightful discussions among an international and interdisciplinary community of experts focused on the understanding of the fundamental biophysical principles powering life from the molecule to the organism level.

As part of the thematic semester MECABIONIC on mechanobiology at the Université Côte d'Azur, "Mechanobiology across scales" will bring together junior and senior researchers from various fields including physics, biology, mathematics, computer science and engineering.

The program includes presentations of recent advances and breakthroughs in mechanobiology, scientific interactions among PhD students, postdocs and confirmed scientists as well as memorable social events.
