Dr. Kabir H Biswas
Dr. Biswas is broadly interested in designing biointerfaces and biosensors for the purpose of understanding and controlling cellular signaling with an emphasis on the role of spatial organization and mechanical regulation of signaling proteins. He employs a variety of biophysical and materials approaches including nano- and micropatterning techniques to design supported membrane-based patterned substrates and genetically encoded, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)-based sensors. Traditional biochemical and cellular assays provide some understanding of cellular signaling including the identity of the proteins involved in a particular pathway, and their biochemical transformations or interacting partners. However, these techniques are often unsuitable for dissecting the role of the spatial organization or mechanical regulation of signaling proteins, features that have been recently revealed to be of prime importance. Some examples of such regulation include molecular mobility-dependent cadherin adhesion formation, spatial localization-dependent T-cell receptor signaling, and substrate rigidity-dependent integrin signaling. Insights gained from these studies will aid in the development of alternative, novel therapeutic avenues for diseases such as cancer.
