“Using novel mechanotechnology which measures and interprets the mechanical forces involved in the human immune system”

Dr. Ma’s research is based on novel mechanotechnology which measures and interprets the mechanical forces involved in the human immune system.

Her proposal provides a pathway for using these mechanics to identify and predict immune responses, which could greatly advance vaccine development and personalized cancer treatment.
