We study the role of Mechanics and Transport processes in cellular physiology using a combination of mathematical modeling and experimental techniques such as fluorescence microscopy, atomic force microscopy, microelectrode measurements of nitric oxide, and a variety of custom-designed devices for mechanically stimulating cells. Our research focuses on these areas:

• Cellular mechanics of Neural Trauma and Repair
• Multiscale Mechanics and Transport in Endothelial Flow Responses
• Mechanics of Cell Adhesion and Migration in Cancer Metastisis
