My current research interests include the mechanoresponse of cells to the nanoscale environment. Specifically, I am interested in how the cytoskeleton responds and adapts to novel biomaterial surfaces and how the functionality of the cell is affected in terms of cell adherence, morphology, motility and toxicity. RNA interference, advanced light microscopy, high content screening (HCS) and cell-based assays will be used to identify critical cytoskeletal proteins and analysed using the Columbus analysis software.
