Our team integrates concepts of physics and biology to develop a model system for a retinal neuronal network.

The high accessibility and tunability of our in vitro system will allow us to address fundamental questions at the interface between physics and biology :

• What are the mechanical cues that guide the self-organization of retina tissues ?
• How are light-induced neuronal signals processed within these tissues ?
• Can we use these systems as powerful in vitro disease models ?
