  London, Royaume-Uni In collaboration with University College London. Mechanics of epithelial cells: Development of a new experimental biophysical technique based on Atomic Force Microscopy. This protocol was used to measure and characterize the temporal evolution of the mechanical properties of epithelial monolayers during the reformation of specialized intercellular junctions. Changes in mechanical properties were correlated with junction assembly stages using confocal microscopy. - This study… Show more In collaboration with University College London.

  Illkirch-Graffenstaden In the group of Brigitte Kieffer: Department of Neurobiology and Genetics, IGBMC. Neurobiology of pain control: Investigation of a new endogenous mechanism for pain control, based on encephalin-release from lymphocytes under pathophysiological conditions. This project used genetically modified mice expressing a Preproenkephalin-eGFP reporter. I identified eGFP-expressing cells by flow cytometry analysis and analyzed their mRNA content.
