The plasma membrane is not just a barrier — it is the site where cells make critical decisions.

Key Question: How do cancer cells become metastatic?

We investigate how cells sense and respond to mechanical stress at their surface. Our research integrates: Biophysics of decision-making at the plasma membrane, Mechanobiology of invasive cell transitions, and Advanced imaging and deep learning to reveal how membrane dynamics drive disease. We transform mechanobiology discoveries into predictive diagnostics and new strategies to prevent metastasis.
