Alexandre J Kabla

Professor Alexandre J Kabla serves as Professor of Mechanobiology within the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge's School of Engineering. He leads the Mechanobiology and Soft Matter Group, conducting interdisciplinary research at the intersection of physics, mechanics, and biology. His work is affiliated with Emmanuel College where he maintains college office space.

Dr. Kabla's research focuses on the mechanobiology of living systems, particularly investigating how mechanical forces and physical constraints govern large-scale cellular behaviors during embryo development, cancer metastasis, and wound healing. His methodology integrates experimental design, advanced data analysis, and multiscale modeling to unravel the physics underlying collective cell migration and tissue morphogenesis. Key research domains include epithelial tissue mechanics, cellular rearrangements in developmental biology, and the rheological properties of biological materials.

The Mechanobiology and Soft Matter Group operates from the Baker Building (Office 323) at Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1PZ. While specific grant details aren't provided in the source material, the group's strategic alignment with Cambridge's Bioengineering initiative underscores its significance in the university's research ecosystem. Dr. Kabla maintains an active research profile with connections to both the Engineering Department and Emmanuel College administrative structures.
