Research

My lab "Micro- and Nanotechnologies for Quantitative Biology" is currently focused on three main areas of research:

(1) Cell–cell variability, developing single-cell and micropatterning methods to track clonal populations over time and uncover cellular regulatory dynamics;
(2) Cancer-on-a-chip, engineering 3D tumor microenvironments to study metabolic reprogramming, including the Warburg effect, under controlled nutrient conditions; and
(3) Bayesian Analysis of time-series and Network discovery, creating statistical tools to model cellular and physiological dynamics, with applications ranging from intracellular networks to functional brain imaging.
