Manohar comes to us from a Masters degree at Glasgow University where he was interested in the growth of cells on substrates with different topologies and stress fields. He has now taken up a PhD Studentship working on the Marsden-funded project with Dr Andrew Sutherland-Smith,”Stretching protein springs: How do cells respond to force?”. Currently he is working on expressing specific actin-binding proteins that will be used in simple cytoskeleton mimics that he will examine microrheologically in collaboration with Allan.
