I am Ayuba Akinpelu, a PhD student at Mistriotis lab at Auburn University. My research uses state-of-the-art biotechnology tools to investigate how tumor cells respond to physical cues. By integrating state-of-the-art bioengineering and materials with imaging tools, we identified HP as a key regulator of cell mechanosensitivity. Our work has broader implications in cancer metastasis since it generates new fundamental knowledge on how migrating tumor cells sense and respond to physical signals of the local microenvironment
