We study the mechanobiology of stem cells and cancer using interdisciplinary approaches that integrate state-of-the-art tools from the physical sciences, high-resolution live-cell imaging, and next-generation sequencing technologies. By combining these techniques, we seek to develop a comprehensive understanding of the biomechanical and biomolecular mechanisms that govern these systemsÂ
Current Openings for Ph.D. Students and Undergraduate Students:
Are you passionate about stem cell biology and mechanogenomics? Interested in exploring how engineered mechanical microenvironments shape whole-transcriptome dynamics in pluripotent stem cells? Want to participate in translating these insights into applications in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine? Our lab has several fully funded positions available, supported by NIH funding. We encourage you to apply by contacting farhan.chowdhury@siu.edu.
