My research combines experimental biophysics and soft condensed matter to study the mechanobiology of cells and tissues, with a focus on cell migration and cell extrusion. My most important contributions are in the fields of cell rigidity and geometry sensing, wound healing and active matter and its applications to cell extrusion, collective migration and tissue organization.
