Biological Soft Matter Lab

Gijsje Koenderink - Full Professor (Delft University)

Our aim is to understand the physical mechanisms that underlie the active mechanical behavior of living matter at the cell and tissue scale. We approach this challenge by combining concepts and experimental techniques from soft matter physics, biophysics, synthetic biology, and mechanobiology. To study the structure and dynamics of cells and tissues, we develop advanced measurement techniques that combine quantitative imaging with force measurements across length scales ranging from the cell/tissue level down to molecular scales.
