Prof. Medha Pathak is a leading expert in mechanotransduction whose research shows how mechanical forces control cell behavior, tissue development, and regenerative processes. Through her pioneering work on Piezo1 as a universal mechanosensitive ion channel, she has identified principles spanning vascular development, immune responses, and neuronal and epithelial repair mechanisms. She stands out for linking molecular biophysics, cell biology, and translational approaches.
