Research Interests
I am interested in how non-uniform membrane tension across a single cell is mechanosensed and co-operatively drives key cellular functions as part of dynamic signalling feedback loops. In particular I am interested in the context of cell migration and division, and how these seemingly distinct key functions share tension responsive machinery, which may have implications for the co-targeting of metastasis and proliferation in cancer.
