    UMONS secures a WEAVE project to uncover the secrets of mechanical memory in migrating cells

    22 June 2026
    The SYMBIOSE laboratory at UMONS, led by Professor Sylvain Gabriele, has secured funding of nearly €340,000 as part of a WEAVE project supported by the F.R.S.-FNRS and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). Conducted in collaboration with Professor David Brückner, from the University of Basel, this project aims to better understand how cells retain the mechanical memory of their environment and use this information to guide their future movements.
