4M: microbiology, multi-omics, microfluidics, material sciencesI am interested in understanding and controlling cell-cell / cell-environment interactions that govern how living matters function and evolve at micrometer scales. By developing cutting-edge biotechnologies, I use this knowledge to design micrometer-scale devices that have applications in health and environment. My current research focus is on understanding interactions and organization within biofilms consisting of ecologically relevant multispecies bacteria at intra- and inter-cellular level, and applying these insights to solve practical problems in e.g. bioremediation and active surface coatings on implants with probiotics. Tools used in my research include microfabricated devices, 3D bioprinting, genetic engineering, advanced quantitative imaging, high-throughput sequencing, multi-omics analysis and mathematical modelling.
