POPULATE Thematic Semester: next events in March & June
Spring Conference on "Population Dynamics: From data to models"
March 10-14th, 2025 at Inria Centre - Kahn building
What is it about?
The conference focuses on population dynamics models that are based on data from different sources (e.g. field observations, laboratory measurements or fine simulations). The conference brings together researchers from different fields (including mathematics, physics, biology, engineering and chemistry) while covering a range of application areas (e.g., planet formation, insect or pedestrian dynamics, nanoparticle agglomeration/fragmentation), in order to generate interdisciplinary research dynamics and methods on this topic.

MECABIONIC Thematic Semester: next events on February & March
Conference from Alex MCDougall from the Laboratoire de Biologie du Développement de Villefranche
Monday 24th of February at 11 am at the Conference Room of the Laboratoire Jean Alexandre Dieudonné.
Emergence of embryonic shape
Although different classes of embryos display predictable patterns of early cleavage divisions up to the blastula stage, we still do not understand what generic rules lead to one or another embryonic shapes. Difficulty in answering this question is due to the lack of mechanistic understanding of how cell shape, cell tension, cell adhesion and cleavage patterning and timing are coordinated. Even though significant progress has been made in identifying the genes involved in driving cell fate decisions, this reductionist one gene-one function approach has led to comparatively less progress in understanding how cleavage patterns and overall embryonic shape emerges.
We exploit the invariant cleavage pattern displayed by ascidian embryos to tease apart the cell biological and biomechanical forces involved in underpinning the invariant cleavage pattern. Invariant cell positioning in the compact ascidian embryo is important for cell-cell signaling starting at the 32-cell stage when 4 animal blastomeres are induced by vegetal blastomere derived FGF to become neural precursors. We have so far found a number of mechanisms that work together to create the invariant cleavage pattern and maintain a compact embryo (that does not have a blastocoel): cell cycle asynchrony, unequal cell division, long apical length dependent spindle positioning and mitotic apical relaxation. I will present what we have done and are doing and try to give an overview of how the ascidian invariant cleavage pattern emerges.
The school will bring together junior researchers (master, PhD, post doc) from various fields including mechanics, biology, mathematics and physics.
The program includes fundamental courses on morphogenesis, tissue dynamics and cellular physics and practical courses on microfluidics, lightsheet microscopy and atomic force microscopy.
The fundamental courses will take place at the Laboratoire Jean Alexandre Dieudonné, whereas the practical courses will be performed in different laboratories of the Université Côte d’Azur. We will have some very nice social events including a welcome cocktail and dinner party, a guided tour of the historic Valrose campus and a conference on digital sustainability.
We hope to see you in Nice and do not hesitate to spread the word around you !
SEMESTRES THEMATIQUES EN COURS
POPULATE
Thematic Semester on “Population Dynamics”
The POPULATE project is a thematic semester, held by Christophe HENRY, Researcher at INRIA. This project is dedicated to Population dynamics that studies the evolution in time of the characteristics of individuals in a given population. The population can be living beings (e.g. fishes, birds, insects, humans, viruses) or inorganic objects (e.g. ashes, dusts, droplets). Various characteristics can be of interest (such as the size of the population, the age of individuals, their weight, their composition).
Several events will be organised during this thematic semestrer:
- Spring conference in March 2025
- Summer school in June 2025
- Fall conference in October 2025

ICON
Thematic semester on "Non LInear Cell PhotONics"
The overarching ICON project aims to consolidate ongoing research initiatives at Université Côte d'Azur (UniCA), encompassing various aspects of photonics and life sciences, from experimental and applied methods to numerical modeling. Additionally, the project seeks to enrich these endeavors by integrating external insights and expertise, fostering collaborations with researchers from France and beyond. A key objective is to strengthen interdisciplinary dimensions through internships and scientific visits, particularly benefiting PhD students, providing them with valuable exposure and experience. Moreover, the initiative serves as a dynamic platform for showcasing UniCA's research to external communities, explicitly aiming to catalyze new collaborations and partnerships. These comprehensive objectives underscore the initiative's profound impact on advancing research at the intersection of photonics and life sciences.
Different actions and events will be organised:
- Seminars
- Workshops
- M2 internships - call open
- Visiting PHD students - call open

MECABIONIC
Thematic semester on Mecanobiology
MECABIONIC involves different UniCA research laboratories including LJAD, IBV, INPHYNI, IPMC and IRCAN.
The behavior, functioning and development of biological systems are controlled by the synergy of biochemical and physical cues. Mechanobiology specifically focuses on the study of mechanics in a biological context. Mechanical forces can be intrinsically generated and biochemically regulated within cells or can result from external cues resulting from the cell physical environment.
