Type of internship
Théorique, numérique
Description
In addition to generating forces and reacting to mechanical cues, cells and tissues are capable of actively transporting fluids and of creating electric currents. The goal of this internship will be to explore these properties using a cell-based approach. This numerical model, based on the vertex model and pump-and-leak model, will be designed include explicitly fluid transport. See pdf for details.
