Mechanobiology Institute, Singapore

The Mechanobiology Institute (MBI) is dedicated to investigating the role of force, geometry and structure in determining cellular morphology and function. Here we highlight our research in this emerging and dynamic field.

MBI brings together efforts in experimental research with an endeavour to educate and disseminate findings relating to mechanobiology to a wider audience. To this end, we are producing a series of educational animations and movies on various aspects of mechanobiology, starting with our featured animation on actin treadmilling. These movies are also featured in our educational resource, mechanobio.info (MBInfo), where you can find up-to-date, peer-reviewed chapters on key aspects of mechanobiology.
