Bioengineering Human Embryo and Organ Models
Early human development remains mysterious and difficult to study.  Recent advances in developmental biology, stem cell biology and bioengineering have contributed to a significant interest in constructing controllable, stem cell-based models of human embryo and organs (embryoids / organoids).  The controllability and reproducibility of these human development models, coupled with the ea

Engineering fluorescent biosensors to spy on cell signaling and metabolism
The ever-broadening selection of high performance fluorescent protein (FP)-based biosensors is revolutionizing our ability to spy on the otherwise invisible world of intracellular signalling and metabolism. In this seminar I will describe our most recent efforts to use protein engineering to make a new generation of genetically encoded biosensors, and chemigenetic biosensors augmented with synthet

Molecular assembly and mechanics of single vimentin intermediate filaments
Intermediate filaments (IF) are involved in key cellular functions including polarization, migration, and protection against large deformations. These functions are related to their remarkable ability to extend without breaking, a capacity that should be determined by the molecular organization of subunits within filaments. However, this structure-mechanics relationship remains poorly understood a

Bees, flowers and electrostatics: a window on a new sensory ecology
Working together to exchange nutrition for pollination services, bees and flowers interact relying on vision, olfaction, touch, and humidity sensing. We have discovered that bees can also detect and learn about the weak electric field that arises as they approach a flower. This electric field – a small force-  is gene

Self-assembled active actomyosin gels spontaneously curve and wrinkle similar to biological cells and tissues
Living systems adopt a diversity of curved and highly dynamic shapes. These diverse morphologies appear on many length-scales, from cells to tissues and organismal scales. The common driving force for these dynamic shape changes are contractile stresses generated by myosin motors in the cell cytoskeleton, that converts chemical energy into mechanical work. A good understanding of how contractile s
