Biography

Marileen Dogterom is the group leader at the Department of Bionanoscience in the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at TU Delft. Her research focuses on understanding the physics of cytoskeleton-based processes through a combination of in-vitro experiments in controlled environments and theoretical modeling, along with experiments in living cells. The goal of her group is to gain a quantitative understanding of how cytoskeletal polymers, essential for many cellular functions, can generate force and organize assembly within cells. They are engaged in various initiatives towards building synthetic cells and exploring the principles of cell functions at a fundamental level.
