Research
Our goal is to identify the physical principles governing life, thus providing new tools to overcome disease and invent smart and robotic materials. The architecture of vascular (flow) networks and their surprisingly complex functions are dynamically controlled by the interplay of flow and active, living matter. To uncover this inherently interdisciplinary process, we intertwine theory and experiment, thereby using a variety of approaches ranging from statistical physics and mechanics, cell, developmental, and synthetic biology to regenerative medicine.
