Cell Migration

Cell Migration

I have significant experience in analysing the movement of red blood cells in dorsal skin chambers and white blood cells, especially neutrophils and macrophages moving in zebrafish embryos. This experience has been also used in tracking small crustaceans and even cars.

Research in this area is closely related to Cancer and Microcirculation; please explore the other research pages and the publications below.
