has engineered many molecular and cellular machines that induce
motion at different scales from the level of single cells to that
of multicellular tissues. The cell membrane, the cytoskeletal polymers
and other proteins collectively form a highly nonlinear, adaptive
dynamical system that allows the cell to respond to its environment.
Research in my laborator combines mathematical modeling, quantitative
imaging and genetic manipulation to uncover how signaling networks
and physical properties of the cell and its surroundings control
force generation and directed cell motion.
