Short Biography in English:
Arezki Boudaoud obtained a Ph.D. in 2001 from Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris. After a postdoctoral stay at MIT, he was hired as a CNRS Research scientist at Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris. He initially worked in nonlinear and statistical physics, notably addressing pattern formation in thin solid and liquid sheets, and gradually switched to morphogenesis in living systems. He joined the Department of Biology at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon in 2009. His team currently investigates the biomechanics of morphogenesis in plants and in animals, as well as the mechanisms that make the shape of organisms reproducible.
A Second Biography in English:
(1) Reproduction and development of plants (RDP) - CNRS / INRA / ENS Lyon / Université Claude Bernard Lyon: After initial training in physics, a PhD in statistical physics carried Laboratory (LPS) of Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris and supported at the University Pierre et Marie Curie, then a postdoc at Department of Mathematics the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, Arezki Boudaoud returns to LPS to work as a research fellow. His research focuses on thin films, liquids and solids. In parallel, he became interested in the morphogenesis in the living and clarifies certain aspects of the role of mechanical forces in the yeast growth and development of plants. It completely switches to the biological sciences in 2009, when he joined the Biology Department of ENS Lyon. Since then, he leads the interdisciplinary team 'Biophysics and development ", jointly laboratory RDP and Joliot-Curie Laboratory (YOA). The team seeks to decipher the mechanisms of morphogenesis in plants, by combining the tools of biology and physics.
(2) Biophysical basis of morphogenesis in plants (PhyMorph): Morphogenesis is the remarkable process by which a living body acquires its shape and pass from an egg to an animal or a seed to a whole plant. While molecular biology and genetics have enabled major advances in understanding the cellular basis of development, the genesis of forms remains a mystery. The shape is determined by the structural elements used in the construction of the body such as the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix to the cell level, the skeleton organization-wide ... The study of morphogenesis must also identify how cells control the mechanical properties of these elements and how it leads to well-defined shape changes. The "PhyMorph" aims specifically to answer the following questions: the state of cell differentiation there is a mechanical identity? The mechanical properties of cells they predict changes in shape? How the variability of cell behavior-leaves she place reproducible forms from one individual to another? Researchers combine physical, molecular biology, tissue imaging and mathematical models of tissue engineering, to elucidate the mechanisms of morphogenesis at the shoot apex of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
