Daniel M. Suter studies how nerve cells (neurons) grow and extend their projections (neurites and growth cones), focusing on the mechanical forces and cytoskeletal machinery (like microtubules and actin) that drive this process. His lab combines computational modeling, atomic force microscopy (a technique for measuring physical forces on tiny structures), and live-cell imaging, often using zebrafish and chick/Aplysia neurons as model systems, to understand nervous system development and regeneration after injury.
