Nanobiotechnology; Cellular biophysics; Physical Biology
Cell growth and mass regulation is a fundamental process for all living organisms, yet it is poorly understood – partly due to our inability to detect changes in mass at cellular level. We develop technologies that measure and monitor cell growth in real time at the single-cell level, enhancing our understanding of cell development. Considering that dysregulation of cell mass is a critical underlying force in the development and progression of many diseases, understanding how cells regulate their mass has enormous potential to transform the way we diagnose, monitor and treat disease conditions such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, ageing or infectious diseases. Our research is at the interphase of engineering, biology and physics, and involves working with exciting methods and techniques of microfabrication, nanotechnology, advanced optical microscopies, programming, cell biology, atomic force microscopy, etc.
