Mission statement
My passion is to seek for new knowledge and methods for future personalized
medicine. We are interested in understanding and assessing mechanisms of
biophysics by developing in-vitro, 3D bioimaging and computational modelling tools for assessing the cellular functions.
We study biophysics,
especially electrophysiology and biomechanics using and developing
microscopy, bioimpedance, patch clamp, and multichannel electrode arrays
(MEAs).
We develop new methods for 3D bioimaging
and image-based assessment of cellular and tissue functions developing
multimodal and hybrid imaging systems with optical, electric and X-ray
3D imaging methodsWe develop computational models to decipher biophysics integrating in-silico and in-vitro human induced stem cell personalized and drug screening platforms.
