Areas of Special Interest
Kush joined the lab in the summer of 2013, and has been working under the guidance of Brian Cosgrove who is currently a PhD student. His research focuses on mesenchyal stem cell mechanobiology, specifically cell traction stress generation. He has now completed a year long independent study project in the Mauck lab. Outside of the lab, Kush enjoys traveling, trying out new restuarants, cooking and listening to music.
