- NEWSLETTER
After a PhD dedicated to better understand bone cells sensitivity to mechanical stresses (space conditions or hypergravity exposure) under the supervision of Pr Laurence VICO (SAINBIOSE laboratory) in 1997, Alain Guignandon was recruited as post-doc at Université de Liège, Belgium to investigate mechano-sensibility of cells and integrins sensing. As European Space Agency – ESA - fellow, he participated in two spaceflight missions (1997-1999). In 1998, he was recruited as Engineer (IE2) by Jean Monnet University, and as an Associate Professor in 2007. Alain Guignandon got his habilitation to lead research (HDR) in 2010, and has been teaching as a Professor, qualified in cell biology and biochemistry, since 2012 .
