Welcome to the Serwane Research Group on mechanobiology and neuronal networks
Our team integrates concepts of physics and biology to develop a model system for a retinal neuronal network.
The high accessibility and tunability of our in vitro system will allow us to address fundamental questions at the interface between physics and biology:
To address these questions we join forces with the Soft Condensed Matter Group at the Department of Physics at LMU and the Munich Cluster for Systems Neurology (SyNergy).
To illuminate the role of mechanics, we will use ferrofluid droplets as mechanical actuators, a technique which has been developed by us (Serwane et al., Nature Methods, 2017) and has been used to understand the role of mechanics in 3D developing tissues (Mongera et al., Nature 2018).
