| Abstract | This Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) award funds research that will investigate the principles governing the interactions at the interface between different groups of cells. These interfaces are crucial in biological processes such as tissue development, wound healing, and cancer metastasis. The project aims to understand how cells from different tissues interact and organize themselves when they come into contact. This research is significant because it attempts to addresses fundamental q |
