Campàs Lab

The Campàs Lab studies tissue/organ morphogenesis in zebrafish from an interdisciplinary perspective, with the overreaching goal of quantitatively connecting the physical/mechanical processes responsible for sculpting biological structures to the genetic and molecular processes that orchestrate their formation. Our research is focused on understanding (1) the physical mechanisms underlying tissue/organ development, (2) the role of mechanics in controlling cell behavior in vivo, (3) the interplay between biochemical signaling and tissue mechanics in embryogenesis and (4) the physics of active multicellular systems.
