Alexandru-Emil Matei

Dr. Alexandru-Emil Matei, a researcher in immunology, discusses his study on immune cell activation in scleroderma using biophysical phenotyping. They explore Young's Modulus and the RTFDC technique for analyzing cell mechanics. They also analyze PBMCs from patients with different diseases and discuss the correlation between biophysical properties of cells and disease activity scores. The podcast concludes with a conversation on balancing clinical practice and research in biomedical research.
