PhD Student - Biomechanics of Cancer Cells

We are studying the relationship between constitutive cell properties and their molecular-genetic basis in cancer (Gladilin et al. J Biomech 2014). The project will focus on dissecting the contribution of intermediate cytoskeletal filaments (such as vimentin, keratins and neurofilaments that are frequently overexpressed in cancer) to mechanical and structural phenotype of malignant cells using a combination of standard techniques for molecular-genetic cell perturbation, microscopic imaging and computational analysis.
