🔧 This is a static basic homepage for PIV while CINaM webpage is repaired 🔧
At PIV, we investigate how physical principles govern biological organisation and function, from the scale of molecules to developing embryos. We ask questions in the context of soft-matter systems and living organisms, our activities covering both fundamental and applied research.
