Ewa Paluch

Ewa Paluch is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. She is a Professor of Anatomy in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience. Her research focuses on cell mechanics, cell morphogenesis, biophysics, and actin networks. She investigates the fundamental principles underlying animal control of cellular shape, particularly in the context of morphogenesis and its implications for pathological disorders such as cancer. Her work employs techniques including quantitative imaging, super-resolution microscopy, and biomechanics measurements. She also engages in collaborative research on cancer cell mechanics and migration.

Ewa Paluch is a Professor of Anatomy at the University of Cambridge, specializing in cell mechanics, biophysics, actin dynamics, cytokinesis, and cell migration. Her research explores how mechanical forces and structural components like the actin cortex influence cellular processes such as morphogenesis, cytokinesis, and migration. She investigates the role of blebs and lamellipodia in cell movement, the mechanics of adhesion-independent migration, and the interplay between cortical tension and signaling in cell fate regulation. Her work bridges biology and physics to understand the physical basis of cell shape changes and motion during development.
