Research Interests

Organelle biology, Airway disease model, Cilia and centrosome research, Super-resolution imaging, Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, Ciliopathies

I am interested in developing a primary airway epithelial model to study the effect of flow on a new type of cilium we have recently discovered and to study the effect of drugs on lung epithelial cells. I am keen on creating synergies with engineers and physicists to develop organ on a chip imaging platforms and to understand how flow influences motile cilia behavior
