> *Project title: Rheological properties of eukaryotic cilia and
> flagella (RheoFlag)*
>
> Cilia and flagella are slender organelles common to a wide spectrum of
> eukaryotes, both marine and terrestrial. Their deformations -either
> passive or active- underpin essential processes, from mechanical
> sensing, self-organization and locomotion of aquatic microorganisms,
> to the generation of feeding currents in corals. The project aims to
> use an active-rheology approach to measure directly both viscous and
> elastic components of flagellar mechanics, developing the required
> experimental techniques and mathematical data analysis that will
> subsequently lead to an improved, experimentally-tested model of the
> flagellum. The results will critically advance our understanding of
> flagellar biomechanics and its coupling to intracellular cytoskeleton,
> and provide a novel viewpoint of the biomechanical role of individual
> protein species that make up the flagellar scaffold. This knowledge
> will be crucial to the development of the next generation of models
> scrutinizing spontaneous wave emergence and adaptation in flagella,
> with impact on microbial locomotion, reproduction and beyond.
>
> The project, which will combine experiments and modelling, is
> fundamentally interdisciplinary. Based in the lab of Drs. *Idan
> Tuval* and*Marco Polin* (IMEDEA, Balearic Islands, Spain), it hinges
> on an exciting collaboration with Dr. *Hermes Gadêlha* (head of
> the Polymaths Laboratory at University of Bristol, UK), expert in
> microhydrodynamics and mathematical modelling of flagellar
> dynamics. The project will include extensive collaboration between the
> two groups, co-supervision of students and affiliation with
> the Polymaths lab at Bristol UK. The Fellow will also benefit from
> initiatives organised by a related European Training Network which
> the host group is part of (PHYMOT <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://etn-phymot.eu__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!UhrDaAwoqIXx8aVShnAfD_MmX-2U716RkNEiYDk1Yim51w6mKhisKgGhaOO0h8lHucjnAoHiZDJ2TKB0EgrUoPARFDLvdew$ >) among many
