Department of Biophysical Microstructures (DBM)
The Department of Biophysical Microstructures (DBM) of the IFJ PAN associates researchers dedicated to the measurement of biophysical properties of biological samples. The group focuses on how living cells and tissues experience mechanical forces in their physiological environment. Biomechanics changes in organ pathology and affects many cellular processes. DBM brings together specialists in atomic force microscopy (AFM) conducting nanomechanical and rheological measurements in liquid, in physiologically relevant conditions at both, the single cell level and molecular level. This provides the basis for a unique expertise in interdisciplinarity research and innovation in biomechanics. Our goal is to find solutions to future challenges in cell mechanics and cell biology. DBM has a broad international network; we work to find applications of our basic research activity in nanomechnics by ensuring collaborations with researchers in biology, clinical medicine and physics in Poland and abroad. Our projects are currently funded by EU-MSCA, European Innovation Council (EIC), GRIEG – Polish-Norwegian research projects, Polish National Science Centre, in addition to support from IFJ PAN. DBM will participate in ImAge-D activities focused on experimental aspects of AFM-based measurements, sample preparation protocols developed towards the use of nanomechanics in clinical practice. DBM employs a staff of 1 full professor, 2 researchers, 3 post-docs, 4 PhD students and 1 technician. For more information about us: https://www.ifj.edu.pl/oddzialy/no5/nz55/en/home/.
