ASALLY LAB since 2014

Bioelectricity

Physics of Life.
Engineering Living Systems.

We study how bacteria use electrical states to respond, communicate and organise, and develop tools to measure and control these dynamics.

Our research

Electrical states.
Living systems.

How does a cell’s electrical state shape its response to the world? We study bacteria to connect ion transport, physiology and collective behaviour.
