Timo Betz is responsible for the AIV-M1 program since 2010. Timo Betz is a tenured CNRS researcher, working on cell mechanics and cell motility at the Physical Chemistry unit of the Institut Curie in Paris.

After finishing a Masters degree at the Center of Nonlinear Dynamics at the University of Texas at Austin, he received a PhD in Physics from the University of Leipzig in Germany, where he worked on the forces and actin dynamics involved in neuronal growth.

He is in particular interested in the basic cellular working mechanisms that allow a cell to control and modify its mechanical properties. In close collaboration with theoreticians and biologists he tries to develop physical descriptions to model the complex non-equilibrium processes which control living cells.

Simon is a physicist turned image-and-data analyst. He works in Zurich at ETH where he heads the IDA (Image and Data Analysis) unit as part of ScopeM (Scientific Center for Optical and Electron Microscopy). He no longer plays the ukulele, having chosen instead to express himself via the épée.

Chong is a Postdoc at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, working on biomedical image processing algorithms. She studied as a medical imaging engineer in Barcelona, and worked at CellNetworks Core Facility Math-Clinic in University of Heidelberg, as image analyst and postdoc for microscopy image processing and analysis, focusing on cell detection and segmentation for high-throughput imaging, using machine learnig based methods.
