Abstract

Molecular Biophysics sits at the crossroads of biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering—and is rapidly transforming how we understand life. Our lab focuses on the cytoskeletal machinery of the cell, aiming to uncover how molecular components work together to drive essential cellular processes. We study how motor proteins, crosslinkers, and cytoskeletal filaments coordinate to perform complex tasks like cell division, movement, and muscle contraction. By combining cutting-edge biophysical tools—including optical trapping, fluorescence microscopy, and QCM-D—we explore how these molecular interactions scale up to support the functions of living systems. This foundational knowledge helps reveal the fundamental design principles that govern living systems, offering insight into the rules of life from the molecular to cellular scale.
