BioAFM Webinars

Study the Structure, Morphology and Biomechanics of Cells and Tissues Using AFM

Discover how Prof. Guillaume Charras uses AFM to explore the role of mechanobiology in cell and developmental biology.   

Explore how AFM is used to explore dynamic processes in living cells, tissues, and biomolecules. 

In this webinar, Prof. Guillaume Charras explains his work using AFM to understand the dynamic shape changes cell aggregates undergo during morphogenesis. Additionally, there is a live demonstration with the CellHesion 300 for fast and easy measurement of the structure, morphology, and biomechanical properties of biological samples. 

Study the Structure, Morphology and Biomechanics of Cells and Tissues Using AFM

Join us and special guest speaker Prof. Guillaume Charras from the London Centre for Nanotechnology, University College London, UK, for this webinar on the role of mechanobiology in cell and developmental biology. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has emerged as a key platform for the nanomechanical characterization and structural analysis of living biological systems. This webinar will include:

  • How AFM can be used to study dynamic mechanical processes in living cells, tissues, and individual biomolecules
  • A live demonstration with the new CellHesion 300
  • Discussion from Prof. Charras about his research on dynamic shape changes in early C elegans embryos

In his talk, Prof. Charras gives an overview of approaches for studying dynamic mechanical changes in cells and tissues and their role in morphogenesis.

Guest Speaker

Prof. Guillaume Charras, London Centre for Nanotechnology, University College London, UK

Prof. Guillaume Charras graduated with a degree in Engineering from Ecole Centrale de Paris. After a Master’s degree in Bioengineering at Georgia Tech, he obtained his PhD in Biophysics from University College London. Following post-doctoral studies in Harvard Medical School, he started his own research group at the London Centre for Nanotechnology at University College London in 2007. His lab focuses on understanding of how the cytoskeleton controls cell and tissue mechanics by combining techniques from physics and engineering with molecular cell biology, optical microscopy, and AFM
