From Motion to Mechanism: How Cellular Dynamics Shape Molecular Programs and Function In Vivo

This project will develop new technologies to connect dynamic cellular behaviors in living animals with their underlying molecular programs and functional outcomes. By integrating advanced intravital optical microscopy with image-guided, spatially resolved single-cell transcriptomics and proteomics, the proposed research will uncover how cell proliferation, migration, and infiltration rewire intercellular communication and affect functional outcomes in vivo.
