Bioelectricity

Physics of Life.
Engineering Living Systems.

We study how bacteria use electrical states to communicate each other and respond to stimuli. We develop and test tools to measure and control bioelectric dynamics.

Our research

Electrical State of Living Cells.

How does a cell’s electrical state shape its behaviour across changing contexts? We are interested in how bacteria regulate membrane voltage, and how their electrical state influences what they do next.
