Description
Modern instruments and creative experimentalists combine to produce remarkable data for diverse biological materials. I will discuss the biological questions posed by my experimental collaborators, the experimental probes of biological materials to gain insight into these questions, the modeling efforts by my theoretical collaborators, and some results toward understanding fundamental questions about DNA packaging in yeast nuclei, mechanochemical mechanisms of oscillatory rounded cell phenotypes, and how diverse particles (viruses, bacteria, drug carriers, environmental particulates) diffuse in human mucus barriers.
