Research Interests: Application of Machine Learning to Quantitative Live Cell Imaging 
Our research is focused on developing novel methodologies for quantitative live cell imaging using machine/deep learning. Research areas are as follows.

• Integrating high throughput imaging and machine learning to deconvolve morphodynamic heterogeneity of cell protrusion and membrane-bound organelles
• Deconvolution of heterogeneous effects of genetic/pharmacological perturbations at the subcellular level
• Developing deep learning-based image analysis methods
• Mechanobiology and biophysics of cell motility

Research Equipment and Facilities

• Spinning disk confocal microscope for live cell imaging
• High-performance workstations for deep learning
• Advanced image analysis platform for cell morphodynamics, fluorescent speckle imaging, single particle tracking, and traction force reconstruction.
