Biography
Research Interests:
- Investigating the molecular determinants of cell and tissue mechanical properties
- Polymer mechanics
- Engineering new tools to study biology
- Reverse engineering protein, cell and tissue mechanical properties for use in regenerative medicine
My current research interests are focused on studying how subcellular networks of polymers and proteins endow cells and tissues with the mechanical characteristics that are critical to their physiological function. This interdisciplinary research involves developing new tools and techniques to measure cellular mechanical properties, with a view towards understanding the origins of disease and developing new therapeutic approaches.
