The Mechanobiology Institute is committed to developing better ways to bring together the multi-disciplinary expertise that is needed to understand the systems biology of mechanical functions.

Understanding the molecular basis for mechanotransduction

Mechanobiology is a dynamic discipline, one that demands dedication and researchers with both a broad vision and the drive to succeed. Here at MBI we are creating a new and powerful community of motivated scientists committed to the advancement of the discipline and the future of mechanobiology.

Our People @MBI

MBI offers a modern, open-lab platform, with well-managed state-of-the-art core facilities, to bring outstanding scientists and their projects to Singapore while providing high-quality training for students and scientists in quantitative systems approaches to the understanding of biomechanical functions.

At MBI, we investigate how groups of proteins come together to form modular functional units that are capable of mediating diverse cellular functions by sensing and relaying mechanical signals between various components of the cell.
