This four-year PhD project at The University of Manchester will develop chemical sensors for measuring tensile forces in living cells and tissues. Mechanical forces influence cellular processes such as cell division, stem cell differentiation and gene expression, as well as tissue-level processes including morphogenesis, wound healing, immune responses and cancer metastasis. However, techniques for measuring forces inside live tissues remain limited. The project will use mechanochromic molecules...
