Bio/Research
We are interested in understanding the physical principles underlying self-assembly of biological materials, including the cytoskeleton, sub-cellular organelles, cells, and tissues. Our research combines the tools of soft matter physics and molecular cell biology to understand the way in which the properties of biological materials play a role in fundamental biological processes, in particular embryonic development. To address these questions we work with the worm C. elegans, as well as the frog X. laevis. We aim to ultimately use the understanding gained in these model organisms to develop self-assembling biomaterials for medical applications.
