            Furthermore, the group is engaged in the mechanoscopy of mammalian cell lines. As part of 

            project (2025–2029), they contribute to the comprehensive study of plant cells, including 
            and the mechanical properties of cell walls and surfaces.


            Alongside its scientific activities, the laboratory provides expert services and contract 
            academic and industrial partners. It offers precise
            nanocharacterization of surfaces with a resolution of up to 0.1 nm in the Z-axis and a sca

            to 400x400 µm. The group routinely performs analyses of nano-formulations of pharmaceutica
