Charles Baroud

Charles Baroud is a Principal Investigator and Researcher at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France. He leads a multidisciplinary Quantitative Biology Program group integrating microfluidics, mathematical modeling, and biomedical engineering to study biological processes at single-cell resolution.

Research Focus: The group develops anchored microfluidic droplet platforms for quantifying antibiotic resistance in monoclonal bacterial populations and analyzing mechanical forces in 3D tumor models. Their work bridges physical sciences with cell biology to address challenges in infectious diseases and cancer.

Scientific Contributions: Recent articles highlight probabilistic antibiotic susceptibility curves (2024), APC mutation effects on T cell interactions (2024), and 3D mechanobiology of cell aggregates (2024). The lab actively engages in technology transfer via startup spin-offs and licensing agreements.

Laboratory: The BaroudLab combines microfabrication, image analysis, and data science tools. Former members have founded three startup companies and secured faculty positions internationally, demonstrating the lab's impact on both academia and industry.
