Title of the panel discussion:
From Force to Function: Empowering the Next Level of Mechanobiology Research
Panel discussion summary

Cells and tissues are not only defined by their molecular composition but also by their mechanical properties, key drivers of function, disease progression, and therapeutic response. This panel brings together leading academic and industry experts to explore how advances in accessible, automated AFM technologies are opening mechanobiology to a much broader range of researchers.
