Damien Cuvelier

Damien Cuvelier serves as a Researcher at Sorbonne University with dual affiliation at the Curie Institute in Paris, where he holds a research-focused academic position within the Cell Biology and Cancer unit (UMR144), a collaborative research entity between CNRS, Institut Curie, and Sorbonne University.

His research program centers on quantitative cell physiology with emphasis on mechanobiological principles governing cellular behavior. Key investigation areas include mechanical force transduction in tissue development, osmotic regulation of cell volume, immune cell dynamics, and cancer cell mechanics. Methodologically, he pioneers microfluidic platforms and 3D-printable experimental devices for in vivo tissue manipulation and high-throughput cellular phenotyping.

Analysis of his recent publication trajectory reveals consistent innovation in experimental biophysics, particularly through microfluidic systems for immune cell analysis and mechanical stimulation devices like the StretchCo for Drosophila studies. His work bridges fundamental cell mechanics with translational applications in oncology and immunology.

Dr. Cuvelier leads the Quantitative Cell Physiology research team within UMR144, driving interdisciplinary projects that integrate engineering approaches with biological inquiry to decode mechanochemical feedback systems in cellular environments.
