 What is your research focus?

I'm currently working on controlling the extracellular environment with light. I'm using the Optics11 Pavone to track how the cell and ECM stiffness changes over time and with light-stimuli on opto-responsive cells who change their protein expression when under illumination.

 What excites you about NSF BioPACIFIC MIP?

I'd like to continue the great access to facilities and specialists that BioPACIFIC MIP has, as well as staying in contact and up to date with the BioPACIFIC MIP community.
