Research

My group’s long term goal is to resolve the physical principles by which cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli. The Sivasankar Group focuses two research  themes: the biophysical studies of mechanical tension sensing in cells and  bioengineering tool development. The group’s projects include biophysical studies of cell-cell adhesion and its regulation and the development of high resolution techniques to quantify the effect of mechanical force on protein structure-function.
