Betterton实验室

The Betterton实验室 studies the 物理 of cell division and related bio物理. They are specifically interested in motor protein dynamics and microtubule length regulation, cytoskeletal active matter, mitotic spindle assembly and regulation, chromosome segregation in cell division, and disordered proteins in the nuclear pore complex. 

生小牛实验室

The Calve Musculoskeletal Extracellular  Matrix  Lab characterizes the material properties of assembling tissues to establish design parameters for regenerative therapies. They are particularly interested in the 作文 and spatial organization of the extracellular matrix, its influence on muscle mechanical properties, and the application of hyaluronic acid to muscle repair and regeneration.

Camley实验室

The Camley实验室 is interested in theoretical solid-state 物理 and magnetic dynamics, which includes biophysical applications such as measuring temperature in MRI (medical im老化). 

丁实验室

The Ding Biomedical Microfluidics Lab are innovators in 工程 cell functions for cell-based immunotherapy with a goal of reducing costs of disease diagnostics and therapeutics. They work at the frontiers of micro/nano 工程, 生物医学工程, 声学, 电子产品, and other applied 物理. 

弗格森实验室

The Ferguson Biomechanics and Biomimetic Lab studies how the microstructure, 作文, and material properties of tissues influence mechanical behavior. 进一步, they examine how these properties change with disrupted mechanical loading, 老化, 或疾病.

菲格罗亚实验室

The Figueroa-Morales Lab studies soft matter 物理 at the interface of microorganisms and the environment (such as bacteria moving through human mucus) using tools like microfluidics and quantitative video microscopy. They address practical problems like the 运输 of microorganisms in the environment and the prevention and treatment of medical conditions. 

脚腕实验室

The 脚腕实验室 studies the physical properties of naturally disordered proteins using experimental 物理, 计算生物学, 细胞生物学. They leverage their discoveries about proteins in healthy cells to understand how disordered proteins contribute to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Jayaram实验室

The Jayaram Animal Inspired Movement and Robotics Laboratory (AIM-RL) combines biology and 机器人 to uncover the principles of robustness underlying successful animal locomotion in natural environments and to inspire the design of next generation novel robots for real-world operation. 

林奇实验室

The 林奇实验室 studies the skeletal mechanical environment and its regulation of cancer using mechanical loading model systems to correlate cellular function with cancer pathogenesis, tissue-level changes in tumor burden, and skeletal tissue strength. They aim to identify targets for treating and preventing bone metastases as well as cancer-associated reductions in bone strength.

慕克吉实验室

The 慕克吉实验室 investigates the flow, 运输, and mechanical underpinnings of physiological processes and develops tools f或疾病 biomechanics, 医疗器械设计, 治疗计划, 药物输送. A primary application area is in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular processes in healthy and diseased states, 像中风, 血栓形成, 和栓塞. 

Neu实验室
