We are inspired by the fact that our material body runs on an intricate design of physical forces. Therefore, we need to rethink and re-examine pathologies as mechanically transformed systems, for effective patient management. Since plasma membrane is the prime interface at which the mechanical forces are sensed and mechano-compatible reponses are generated, we employ state of art techniques to elucidate design principles that remodel surface dynamics of brain tumours and neurological diseases with a particular emphasis on galectins and lipid rafts as the central modules. We have also initiated research in cerebro-vascular and cardiovascular mechanobiology.
