    Making progress in mechanobiology (with Prof Viola Vogel)

    What were the key breakthroughs in the field of mechanobiology? How do proteins act as mechanical switches? And what can be done to translate more research from the lab to the clinic?

    In this episode, Emily and Eonan chat with Viola Vogel, a Professor of the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at the ETH Zürich, whose pioneering work in the field of mechanobiology has been key to show that proteins act as mechano-chemical switches and that this can be exploited in the treatment of various diseases. Along the way they chat about commercialisation, public engagement and some hopes for the future of the field of mechanobiology.

    As always, hope you enjoy the episode and we would love to hear your ideas and feedback for future episode!
