About the research
Lisa Manning uses theory and simulations to investigate collective behavior in living tissues and disordered materials.
Read the full research overview
Her research asks how cells and their surroundings generate mechanical forces that shape developing organs, and how those forces work alongside biochemical signals. Collaborative experiments connect mathematical predictions with observed tissue movements. Other interests include mechanical metamaterials and the structure, deformation, and flow of glassy materials. The work brings soft matter physics into questions of development and disease, investigating how large-scale patterns emerge from interactions among many individual components.
