Sven van Teeffelen holds a PhD in physics from the University of Düsseldorf and completed postdoctoral studies at Princeton University. He has been an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology, Infectiology and Immunology at the University of Montreal since 2021. His research aims to develop a detailed understanding of bacterial cell shape, size, and envelope integrity. The bacterial envelope contains several interconnected components, including the cell wall and one or more membranes. To maintain cell shape and envelope integrity during growth, various remodeling processes must be coordinated, alongside essential cellular physiology processes, such as biomass growth and chromosome replication. His lab approaches these issues at multiple scales, from the behavior of single proteins to the macroscopic shape of cells and the cell cycle, employing physics and biology methods, including high-resolution microscopy, microfluidics, and mathematical modeling.
