Topic Landing

Research in this area encompasses mechanical events of single cells, multicellular systems, and subcellular structures. Some projects apply engineering approaches to understand mechanical properties of the cell, while other projects reveal mechanical properties critical for applications like tissue engineering. Faculty members interact extensively with those in areas of computation, image processing, modeling, materials, microfabrication, and microfluidics to apply a rich set of research tools.

Section Title

Cellular mechanics of cardiovascular systems

James Antaki and Kerem Pekkan investigate cellular mechanics of the cardiovascular system, to gain insight into the impact of blood flow on cell shape under normal and disease conditions. They use high speed imaging to study the deformation of red blood cells within the vasculature. Kerem Pekkan in addition has been modeling the deformation of red blood cells under shear near the blood vessel.

Living systems interact with their environment in a tremendous diversity of ways. Understanding the input and output of mechanical signals inside living cells, and between cells and the environment, can lead to improvements in the prevention and treatment of cancer, birth defects, and aging, as well as other novel applications.
