I’m interested in understanding how mechanical forces can influence characteristics of cells. As Xavier Trepat had once said, “Considering only genes and biomolecules is like trying to write a book with only half the letters of the alphabet.” This has resonated with me greatly and is currently on a post-it note at my desk. In my free time, I like watching anime, gaming and trying out new restaurants. Or just go for a siesta.
