Mechanobiology Seminar Series 2022/23
The MaP Doctoral School hosted a novel student-led Mechanobiology Seminar Series initiated by Dr. Céline Labouesse (D-MAVT).
Mechanobiology Seminar Series
every 2nd Tuesday per month
- 2022: 11 Oct1, 8 Nov1 & 13 Dec1
- 2023: 10 Jan1, 14 Feb1, 14 Mar2, 9 May2 & 13 June2

1ETH Zentrum, LEE E 101 2ETH Hönggerberg, HCI J 498
The seminar is designed for on-site participation. A zoom link will be shared with registered participants before each session to enable participation of early career researchers from Basel and other locations.
Hosted by: Dr. Céline Labouesse, Dr. Ines Lüchtefeld & MaP Doctoral School
Mechanobiology is a wide field of research that covers any topic related to the physical and mechanical understanding of living systems and their applications, bringing together biologists, physicists, engineers and material scientists. For this community, spread across multiple groups and departments at ETH Zurich, we offer a novel platform to meet fellow mechanobiology enthusiasts during an informal seminar series where early career scientists will present their work.
Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
- multiscale polymer behaviour of chromatin
- force-dependent nuclear transport of proteins
- phase separation mechanisms in cell signalling
- niche mechanics in stem cell differentiation
- mechanobiology of neuron development
- bone and tendon biomechanics
- shear flow control of cardiovascular & endothelial function
- development of 3D mini-organs and organoids.
Each session will consist of two presentations by early career scientists on their research project (30 min per talk, including Q&A). One date will be reserved for an invited speaker. Each session is concluded with networking opportunities.
Active participation desired
Whether you are a doctoral student, master student, recent graduate, or postdoc, please register for the seminar series and make the discussions lively and enriching. Participants from all departments are welcome. To apply for one of the presentation slots, please provide a title and keywords during your registration.
