DUCLOS LAB

Bio-inspired active matter

Interested in soft condensed matter, liquid crystals, pattern formation, cell motility, or fluid dynamics? Contact us!

We are a group of physicists, biochemists, and material scientists interested in understanding the origin of collective behaviors in biomimetic active materials. 


Active matter: activity-driven phase transitions, topological active fluids, folding of soft materials

Biophysics: nematic tissues, collective cell migration, cell-cell communication
