Overview
Background
I am fascinated by the intricate and dynamic cellular processes that occur constantly within the human body. To understand this, my research amalgamates fields of molecular biology, mechanobiology, 3D models and multimodal quantitative live-cell microscopy. This amalgamation of the techniques permits insight into addressing challenging biological questions.
