We explore the physics of living systems, of biological matter and of soft condensed matter. We study a wide variety of systems, from single motor proteins to cells, from virus particles to cells lining blood vessels, from colloids to tissues. We employ a large arsenal of modern experimental techniques, fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, optical trapping, microrheology to name a few. Our goal is to understand how a cell works and how many cells in an organism collaborate, from the microscopic molecular mechanisms to larger scale collective processes.
