Expertise
  • Vascular and endothelial biology
  • Mechanosensing and mechanotransduction pathways
  • Cellular and nuclear mechanics

Mechanotransduction, cell and nuclear mechanics, endothelial mechano-biology, biofluid mechanics, drug delivery, and biotechnology.

Cells exist in a mechanically active environment. Our group is interested in understanding how various mechanical and biochemical signals can influence cell functions on a genetic, molecular, and cellular level; and how they are translated into tissue or whole body effects.
