We use advanced electron microscopy to understand the cellular processes of mineral morphogenesis

We study how osteoclasts, the only cells in our body that can degrade bone, are formed and how they function, both in health and in disease

With background in fluid dynamics and biogeochemistry, we study the properties of kidney stones and urine, as well as the function of ureteral stents, and implications for clinical diagnoses and treatments.

We use molecular genetics and advanced electron microscopy to study pigment cells and the formation of functional and pathological bio-organic crystals.
