A more perfect status quo
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Purdue University has performed side-by-side comparison of precision data collected from both the Mother Machine and the SChemostat technologies, providing substantial insights into quantitative rules governing the maintenance of stochastic homeostasis in living systems. The technologies were developed at Purdue University in the lab of Prof. Sri Iyer-Biswas.

Jing Liu awarded NSF and NIH grants to study mechanics in human cells
Human cells generate and sustain mechanical forces as part of their normal physiology. These forces, typically in the scale of several to tens of piconewton (10-12 N), could easily control the structures and biological functions of the cell. Jing Liu, associate professor at the Purdue Department of Physics and Astronomy, has integrated modern molecular biology techniques with imaging methods to detect the piconewton forces generated inside a living cell. Liu’s cutting-edge mechanics-driven biophysics and medical research has gained him two grants to study cell migration and cells in the human eye.
