O autorze

Dr. Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic is a scientific advisor. Her research interest is related to biological physics, biorheology and biomechanics. She worked as guest editor for Seminars and Cell and Developmental Biology for the special issue titled: "Viscoelasticity of multicellular systems: from subcellular to supracellular levels” Dr. Elias Barriga is a former University College London postdoc and current group leader at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia (IGC), Portugal Lisbon. His research focuses in understanding how mechano-molecular interactions synchronise morphogenesis in development and regeneration.
