Michael Murrell is a Professor in Biomedical Engineering at Yale University with additional appointments in Physics. His research interests focus on understanding the mechanical principles that drive major cellular life processes and designing novel biomimetic systems. He aims to develop simplified, tractable experimental models that replicate complex cellular behaviors such as cell division and migration. By combining 'bottom-up' experimental models with concepts from soft matter physics, he seeks to gain a fundamental understanding of how mechanics influence cell and tissue behavior. He hopes to identify new design principles from biology to create innovative technologies.
