Research
The endothelial glycocalyx, Actin cytoskeleton, Junctional complex, Cell mechanics, Directional cell migration, Angiogenesis
Interests
My research interest lies in the mechano-regulation of the endothelial glycocalyx in vitro, particularly looking into the interplay with the cytoskeletal system and junctional complex, with the use of super-resolution microscopy, confocal microscopy and atomic force microscopy.Publications
