Research Focus: Engineering complex, cell-mimicking architectures using bottom-up assembly techniques. This involves designing synthetic cells (Giant Unilamellar Vesicles - GUVs) and multi-compartment systems that replicate specific biological behaviors, such as division, motility, and communication, to understand the fundamental design principles of life.
Research Focus: Developing novel microfluidic platforms and microfabrication techniques for the precise generation and manipulation of soft matter systems. This includes droplet-based microfluidics for high-throughput screening and the creation of controlled micro-environments to study single-cell and synthetic cell dynamics under physiological conditions.
Research Focus: Investigating the fundamental mechanics of biological interfaces. This work focuses on lipid membrane dynamics, cytoskeleton-membrane interactions, and protein-induced remodeling. By analyzing membrane mechanics at the nano- and micro-scale, you aim to decipher how physical forces drive biological function and cellular organization.
Research Focus: Bridging the gap between fundamental biophysics and medical application. This involves utilizing nanotechnology and self-assembly principles to design smart drug delivery systems, bio-inspired microcarriers, and therapeutic interfaces, aiming to solve critical challenges in healthcare and targeted medicine.
