We are a small team in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Our group asks how living matter remodels, resists, fails and recovers. We apply physics and mechanics to biological and biomedical problems, from the rupture of cell monolayers and the rheology of tissues to cell migration in glioblastoma and the consolidation of soil by bacteria. Together with our collaborators, we combine experiments, quantitative analysis and modelling to tackle these questions.
We share our interdisciplinary approaches with the student community, contributing to education across Maths, Physics, Mechanics, Computer Sciences, Biological and Biomedical Engineering. In collaboration with the Centre for Global Equality and their partners, we offer projects where students deploy their expertise on challenges of international development, reducing economic, social and technological barriers to innovation.
The Work Space brings together our papers, projects, resources and courses; start there to browse by system, question, method or purpose.
