François Nédélec

François Nédélec is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on cell biology, morphogenesis, the cytoskeleton, and cell division. He employs synthetic and systems biology approaches, along with computer modelling, to investigate the role of the cytoskeleton in cell and developmental biology. His work integrates quantitative imaging, mathematical modelling, and biophysical assays. Nédélec's research explores cell and tissue shape, cytoskeleton dynamics, and related areas for collaboration.

Francois Nedelec is a researcher at Cambridge University specializing in Physical Biology, Cytoskeleton, and Quantitative Cell Biology. His work explores the self-organization of microtubules and motors, the physical properties governing their interactions, and the mechanisms underlying cell division and contractility. He investigates how cytoskeletal components contribute to cellular processes such as spindle positioning, nuclear movement, and actin network dynamics. His research integrates computational models and experimental approaches to understand the forces and architectures that drive cellular behavior. Nedelec's studies also address active matter systems, including phototaxis in marine organisms and the role of crosslinkers in microtubule organization.
