Hayer Lab is focused on the collective movement of cells, which is crucial for development, repair, and disease. The research examines how cells communicate and coordinate with each other through mechanisms such as adhesive cell-cell junctions. By employing cultured endothelial cells as a model system, the lab applies an interdisciplinary approach that includes molecular biosensors, micropatterned substrates, quantitative live-cell microscopy, and computational image analysis. The primary aim is to understand the fundamental mechanisms that allow cells to communicate and coordinate, ultimately influencing the intracellular machinery and contributing to the complexity of tissues and organs.
