Patrick Noerr successfully defends his dissertation entitled "Mechanical interactions in biological active filaments and networks". Congratulations Dr. Noerr! Wish you all the best in your postdoc career at University of California San Diego, and beyond!

Subhaya's work is accepted in Biophysical Journal, congrats! This work describes competing roles of persistent cell motility and long-range elastic interactions at a stiffness interface with a combination of simulations, elasticity theory and scaling analyses. We are very happy to see that reviewer...

Congratulations Patrick on his work on "Mechanical interactions direct multicellular network formation on elastic substrates" being accepted to PNAS!

Undergraduate student Hins Qiu who has been associated with our lab for almost two years now receives a CCBM student fellowship for the academic year 2023/2024. He will receive a stipend and additional mentoring from the CCBM - a NSF-funded center for biophysics/bioengineering on campus. He is...

Graduate student in the group, Patrick Noerr, won second place in a poster competition organized by the CCBM - a NSF-supported interdiscipinary research center on campus - during their annual EAB (External Advisory Board0 Meeting day. Patrick's poster was entitled "Investigating mechanically...
