Creating a new field of discipline at the boundary of cell biology and material sciences
Research
We strive to create an inclusive environment where every member is respected.
Diversity & Inclusion
We take actions to ensure that all individuals and groups from different backgrounds are accepted, welcomed, and respected, creating an environment where all members can fully express themselves and leverage their unique strengths.
