Julien Berro

Julien Berro is an Associate Professor at Yale University, affiliated with the Yale School of Medicine's Departments of Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry and Cell Biology. He leads the Berro Lab, focusing on mechanistic and quantitative studies of cellular force generation and sensing, particularly in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. His research integrates experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches.

Education: PhD in Mathematical Modeling in Biology (Université Joseph Fourier, France), Postdoc at Yale University. Key affiliations include the Nanobiology Institute and the Center for Biomedical Data Science.

Research interests center on actin cytoskeleton mechanics, endocytic force production, and membrane tension regulation. Notable achievements include NIH High-Risk/High-Reward Awards and recognition as a 'Cell Scientist to Watch' (2019).

• Lab Focus: Coiled-coil force sensors, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, and quantitative imaging.
• Grants: NIH funding for mechanobiology studies.
• Labs/Teams: Collaborates with the Pollard Lab and the Yale Systems Biology group.
