Unravelling the Mechanics of Life: The Mechanobiology Institute, National University Of Singapore

The Mechanobiology Institute at the National University of Singapore is at the vanguard of an emerging field, exploring biological systems from a physical and mechanical perspective at the molecular, cellular, and tissue level. Crucial to their work is understanding the forces that drive motility and morphogenesis. Their growing interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers are developing powerful new computational models, imaging platforms and experimental systems and tools for studying dynamic processes in living cells and tissues. Their discoveries and innovations will drive training and education in the clinic and the classroom.
