Andrew Pelling

Biography

Dr. Pelling is working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics, at University of Ottawa, Canada. He is generally interested in understanding the dynamic mechanical properties of cellular systems across nanometer and micrometer length scales. The mechanical response and transduction pathways of living cells are explored using genetic manipulation and a variety of scanning probe and optical techniques. The long term goals of his research program are to understand the genetic and architectural control mechanisms of mechanotransduction pathways in health and disease. He is the author of many articles published in several reputed journals.
