Molecular Cell Biomechanics Laboratory

The Molecular Cell Biomechanics Laboratory studies biological systems across scales, combining mechanobiology, molecular modeling, and data-driven methods to better understand how structure, force, and dynamics influence function.


Cell & Nuclear Biomechanics

Cell and nuclear mechanics, force transmission across the nuclear envelope, and structure-function relationships at the cell-nucleus interface.

Microbiome & Bacterial Community Biomechanics

Biomechanics and multiscale modeling of host-microbe systems, bacterial communities, gut biogeography, and ecological dynamics.

Statistical Learning & Biological Language Processing

Statistical learning, biological language processing, and model-driven discovery across sequence, genome, and microbiome data.
