Departmental Groups

Cellular Biophysics, Synthetic Bottom-Up Assembly of Cells, Molecular and Materials Systems Engineering - Find information about the different projects here. more

We're taking a cross-disciplinary approach, combining chemistry, biophysics, and materials science, to unlock the secrets of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) interactions. By designing novel interfaces, we're enhancing cellular interactions and gaining new insights into the complexities of GAG interactions. more

The goal of the group is to determine how nanoscale features of the extracellular environment control cell function. We focus on the spatial regulation of integrin receptor clustering and on the cross talk with other transmembrane receptors. more

We are interested in biophysical aspects of dynamic cellular reorganizations, in the development of cell-type specific biomaterials, and in cellular controller systems. more
