 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.
