We study the physics of how biological systems interact with their environments, as well as the role of these interactions in shaping organismal morphology and behavior.

We use a range of theoretical and empirical (laboratory + field) techniques to answer questions that sit at the intersection of behavior, biophysics, and evolution.

We work on problems across organismal systems and levels of biological organization. While the underlying mechanisms (and the techniques we use to study them) may vary as we shift our focus from molecular motors to bacteria to animals, the larger questions we are fascinated by remain the same!

  • How do biological systems sense and respond to mechanical stresses in complex environments?
  • In what environments do adaptive mechanics improve performance?
  • How do flexible locomotive strategies affect the evolution of biomechanical structures?

Our research provides ample opportunities for undergraduate engagement. Please email Jasmine at jnirody@uchicago.edu to discuss options!

P.I. willing to mentor undergraduate research volunteers work study students, and students requring pay interested in Biomedical acoustics.

The focus of the Biomedical Acoustics Development and Engineering Research Laboratory (BADER Lab) is the translation of therapeutic ultrasound for non- or minimally invasive treatment of cardiovascular and cancerous disease. Specifically, we utilize acoustic cavitation for combinatorial ablation and enhanced drug delivery treatment strategies of pathologies resistant to standard interventional techniques. To assess bubble activity and the resultant changes in tissue structure, we are developing multi-modal imaging approaches via diagnostic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Analytic and numerical bubble dynamics models are also utilized to gain insight into the mechanism of action of our therapeutic approaches. Current research topics include:

  • Chronic thrombus ablation with histotripsy and thrombolytic drugs
  • Passive cavitation and MR imaging to assess histotripsy-induced liquefaction
  • In vitro assessment of histotripsy-enhanced drug delivery
  • Histotripsy-induced sonochemical reactions for the treatment of cancer
  • Numeric and analytic models of bubble dynamics
  • Magnetic Resonance-guided transurethral prostate ablation
