A Massive Open Online Course on:

The Consortium organized the MOOC around the common theme of the Action: the standardization of nanomechanical measurements of cells and tissues.
This is the list of topics included in the MOOC with indication of the lecturers:

INTRODUCTION
1) What is standardization (Jean-Luc Pellequer & Hermann Schillers) (video and PDF)

METHODS
2) Instrument calibrations (Alessandro Podestà)
3) Contact models (Felix Rico) (video and PDF)
4) Viscoelasticity (Daniel Navajas or Manfred Radmacher)
5) Sample preparation (Frank Lafont and Massimo Alfano)
6) Data processing (Nuria Gavara)
7) Data statistics (Manfred Radmacher)

APPLICATIONS
8) Standardization of nanomechanics on cells (Malgorzata Lekka)
