Mrs Laura Forster

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate working with Professor Francesca Palombo at the University of Exeter, where my research focuses on Brillouin microscopy applications to live cells and tissues in mechanobiology. 

I completed my PhD at Queen Mary University of London under the supervision of Professor Himadri Gupta, investigating the nanoscale biophysics of cutaneous wound healing and fibrosis using multimodal approaches including nanoindentation, small-angle X-ray scattering and Raman spectroscopy.
