6.导师(课题组)介绍
Prof. Chen got her PhD degree in Biophysics from UC Berkeley and postdoctoral training in Theoretical Cellular Physics at NIH. She has published theoretical and computational models for various biological systems in high-profile journals, such as Nature Communications, PNAS and Biophysical Journal.

Prof. Chen’s group builds mathematical and computational models to study cellular processes. We emphasize on how spatial, temporal and mechanical regulations couple with biochemical signals to control cellular functions. Biological systems self-assemble into highly heterogeneous and dynamic structures. Spatiotemporal regulation and mechanical interactions constitute integrated components of biological signaling mechanisms, but in most cases their specific functional roles are not well understood yet. Modern experimental tools allow high resolution live-cell imaging and dynamic force measurement; however, it remains difficult or impossible to simultaneously track all biomolecules and their activities in the complex biological systems. To fill the unavoidable void, we weave experimental data into physically viable models, which provides insights into functional roles of spatiotemporal regulation and mechanical interactions. We typically work in close collaboration with experimental groups to ensure effective feedback between theory and experiments.

We especially prefer background in applied mathematics, theoretical physics, soft condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics, engineering physics, etc., plus passion for understanding biological systems.
