We are delighted to announce a joint conference between the two CNRS GDRs, ‘Approches Quantitatives du Vivant’ and ‘Micro Nano Fluidique’. The event will focus on micro- and nano-systems for life sciences. In particular, the conference will address the topics of ‘Microfluidics for biological characterisation and diagnosis’ and ‘Organs-on-a-chip / Cell biology on a chip’.

The conference will take place at the ENS de Lyon (Amphi Descartes) in Lyon on Tuesday 3rd of February 2026.

We will have the pleasure of welcoming four guest speakers:
– Laura Casanellas (Coulomb, Montpellier)
– Morgan Delarue (LAAS, Toulouse)
– Ludovic Keiser (INPHYNI, Nice)
– Charlotte Rivière (ILM, Lyon).

This event is intended to provide an opportunity for meeting and exchange. We therefore strongly encourage student participation (we will select 12 oral contributions). Registration and abstract submission will be open from October 15 to December 15. Participation in this event is free of charge, but registration is required.

Further practical information will be available on our website (https://mnfaqv2026.sciencesconf.org/).

We look forward to meeting you there.

The organising committee: Fabien Montel, Magalie Faivre, Cécile Leduc and Pierre Joseph.
