I am an engineer and mathematician by background, now a quantitative biologist. I find living systems fascinating to study and I believe that their engineering has the potential to transform our health and reduce […]
I’m a computational biologist passionate about understanding how biological systems function at the molecular level. Making sense of our necessarily fragmented observations of the extremely complex systems that cells are is one of the […]
IINCEPTION Goal The Inception aims to develop a core structure to mobilize data resources, numerical sciences, and fundamental experimental biology in various health issues (Official website here: https://www.inception-program.fr/en). The inception program uses Integrative Biology, […]
Viruses were for quite long characterized as the invisible heteronomous agents, (unseen by light microscopy & unable to propagate themselves in the absence of susceptible cells) capable of escaping the bacteriological filters (Rivers, 1932, […]
My undergraduate education in both biology and applied physics naturally aroused my scientific interest in biological questions at the interface of physics and biology. For example, understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving tissue […]

I am the Principal Investigator of the Decision and Bayesian Computation lab and a theoretical physicist by training. My research is focused on the algorithms and computation selected by evolution to perform biological decision-making.I address […]
Marcio Marim graduated in Electrical Engineering in 2005 at the State University of Campinas, Brazil (UNICAMP). From 2006 to 2011 he was with the Quantitative Image Analysis Unit, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France, and received […]
Academic background During his PhD in robotics (Amiens, Berck), FdC conceived an autonomous robot designed to help disabled people, and especially paraplegics. The robot used omnidirectional vision sensor to SLAM and navigated automatically in […]
