We are updating our web site, debugging the old html code.
The following pages are not yet available as of today: research, gallery, links.
Update (June 4): our web site is (almost) fully up-and-running.

The first experimental paper of our lab has been accepted by Current Biology.
This paper introduces the "mother machine," which we believe will be of great value to those
who need long-term (~days), high-throughput (millions of datapoints) observations at the singel-cell level under a constant environment.
More detailed information will be available.
