Biomeca

A deep expertise in Biomechanics and Surface Analysis in Life Sciences Living systems must be considered as physical systems. Unravelling the physical mechanisms underlying complex biological processes and diseases remains one of the greatest challenges in modern biology. At BioMeca®, we believe the starting point is to provide a quantitative physical description of biological samples. This approach enables a deeper understanding of biological processes and drives innovation across health, cosmetics, and biotechnology. Based in Lyon, BioMeca® is an expert in biomechanics and mechanobiology, specializing in high-resolution structural and mechanical characterization of biological samples across multiple scales: • Tissues, explants (ex vivo), and cells 🧫 • Subcellular structures and organelles • Molecules such as DNA and proteins 🧬, down to sub-molecular resolution We combine advanced methodologies to provide unique insights: • EASYSTIFF®: proprietary device for biomechanical characterization of skin and tissues • AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy): nano- to micro-scale mechanical mapping • SHG (Second Harmonic Generation): label-free 3D imaging of collagen and tissue structures • SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy): high-resolution surface morphology • Ex vivo models: functional analysis on human skin explants Our approaches are designed for in vitro, ex vivo, in situ, and in vivo studies, bridging the gap from fundamental research to real-world applications.
