OUR RESEARCH

Our research is among the most rapidly evolving topics of biophysics that combines the traditional quantitative strengths of physics with clear potential for biological application and health impact. 

Phase Separation

A cancer-causing protein spontaneously forms granules in living cells. Turning granules on or off can turn cancer signaling on or off.

Cell Imaging

CRISPR gene-editing and quantitative imaging show how a group of human cells respond to hostile environments such as cold temperatures

Biomaterials

A bio-polymer chain navigates through obstacles in intermittent stretch-recoil steps, contrary to expectation of continuous snaking-through.
