• 

  Mechanical forces during protoplast regeneration

  We aim to understand how physical forces guide the change of cell identity, interplay with cell division and eventually support the forming of new...
• 

  Mechanical control of plant tissue engineering

  In this project, we are figuring out what those mechanical requirements are and how we can apply and exploit them to engineer plant tissues in a petri...
• 

  The mechanobiology of pollen penetration

  Pollen grains deliver their sperm nuclei to the egg cells of the plant. To do so, the pollen grain grows a tube must pierce flower tissues. In this...
• 

  Mechanosensitive molecular probes for plant mechanobiology

  Plants are under constant mechanical stress, both from within and from their environment. The role of this stress on plant development is not fully...

• Smart separations with ionic liquids

  Room temperature ionic liquids are an interesting class of materials as these have a solubility gap with most of the liquids we commonly use, such or...
