Research Overview
Combining microengineering and interfacial science, we pursue the fundamental principle of how cells sense the surrounding geometry and form complex tissues and organs in self-organizing ways. We focus on the interfacial mechanics of cellular adhesion on micro-curvature to clarify how cell-generated force controls the behavior of multicellular systems. Our goal is to contribute to regenerative medicine in the future by providing a mechanics-oriented design strategy for complex tissues and organs.
