Collaborative Research: Mechanics and Morphogenesis in Biofilms: A Model System of Adaptive Growth

US NSF grant open #nsf-2531367

Summary

Growth is a quintessential feature of all living systems; understanding the mechanics of growth is crucial in a wide range of ecological, industrial, and medical settings. However, while there is an increasing appreciation for the significant role of mechanics in defining the growth and form of biological materials, the field has yet to provide a basic understanding of key mechano-morphogenesis processes and their sensitivity to various environmental factors, such as geometrical constraints and nutrient availability. To address this question, this collaborative project takes advantage of a hig
