Profile

The major goal of the translational mechanobiology lab is to understand 'how cells sense and respond to the mechanical microenvironment' with a therapeutic implications to cancers, neuro and cardio degenerative diseases as well as abnormal aging. The workflow involves examining the mechanical stressors at the cellular level by engaging physico-chemical assays and multi-omics analysis. The results obtained are escalated to the relevant animal models for validation and to the patients' samples for the examination of clinical relevance.
