Current Research

Three connected research directions

I move between model systems, quantitative tools and physical theory — with each direction informing the others.

Living systems

Gastruloid Morphogenesis & Self-Organization

How do initially simple stem-cell aggregates break symmetry, generate flows and organise multiple tissues?

Open project →

Methods

Quantitative Tools for Imaging

How can we see, segment, track and compare cells in dense, light-scattering 3D tissues?

Open project →

Physics

Tissue Rheology

How can effective material properties be inferred from tissue dynamics, deformations and rearrangements?
