Nina Miolane, PI of the Geometric Intelligence Lab, is featured in UCSB Magazine of Engineering & Science (Convergence) for our research on quantifying the morphodynamics of migrating cells with geometric statistics !
The cells in our bodies are constantly on the move to achieve a myriad of tasks that are essential to life. What happens when cell motion is disrupted? What can we learn from the uncoordinated dances of abnormal moving cells? Could we read characteristics of pathologies such as cancers by decoding cell movements?
As a result of a nascent yet already fruitful collaboration with Adele Myers, A. Gabbert, and Prof. Denise Montell, our research opens the door to leveraging a whole new class of statistical methods to reveal the mysteries of healthy and pathological cell movements.
