Research Interest
Understanding how self-organizing processes take place in a prokaryotic cell. The processes which are of my particular interests are localization of cell division proteins, segregation and organization of DNA, and growth of Gram-negative cell wall. My group uses both experiment and numerical modelling to address questions related to these processes. Development of micro- and nanofabricated environments to carry out long term high resolution microscopy of bacteria in their physiological conditions. Development of electrical and mechanical actuators and sensors interfacing cells on such lab-on-a-chip devices.
