Main interests
- Mechanobiology of living cells in relation to cancer metastases and wound healing.
- Cancer progression and predictive prognosis of cancer metastasis formation, through mechanobiology, structure and mechanics of living cells
- Cell mechanics, adhesion, spreading, and force application on bio-surfaces as a function of external conditions, such as drug and chemotherapeutic treatments and applied mechanical deformations.
- Computer algorithms, image processing, and finite element simulations to determine mechanobiology of cell interactions and intracellular mechano-structural evolution of cells.
