Postdoctoal Fellow
My primary research interests center around mechanobiology in the context of regenerative medicine. I’m developing various experimental platforms (ex. electric field, tensile force, microfluidics, micro-contact printing, soft robotics) that are specifically designed to mimic the physiological environments to investigate cellular level mechano-responses. Using these devices, I’m interested in the cellular responses using different metrics, including physical traits such as morphology and motility as well as gene/protein level expressions.
