The conference aims at gathering France-based actors (+ one pioneering international contributor, V. Heinrich) in the fast-developping field of immuno-mechanics.

​

The invited speakers will cover a wealth of micromanipulation techniques (including micropipettes,  atomic force microscopy, laminar flow chamber,  microfabrication and microfluidics, traction force microscopy, and acoustic trapping) applied to several types of immune cells (including T and B lymphocytes, macrophages, natural killers and dendritic cells).
