Laboratory

To facilitate the biological research of tomorrow, we are developing fluorescence microscopy techniques for pushing spatial and temporal resolution beyond the capabilities of current technology. Our interests in the field of nanoscopy include STED microscopy, single-molecule localization-based microscopy (FPALM/PALM/STORM/PAINT), and 3D particle tracking.

 

We are developing the next generation of these technologies by implementing adaptive optics, dual objectives, high-speed data acquisition, new image processing algorithms, and better protocols for sample preparation and live-cell imaging. Through collaborations with our colleagues at Yale and at other institutions, we apply our technology to answer a diverse set of biological questions. We have particularly strong interests in the endoplasmic reticulum.

 

Our research group is part of the Department of Cell Biology at Yale University School of Medicine and is also affiliated with the Department of Biomedical Engineering, the Kavli Institute for Neuroscience and The Integrated Graduate Program in Physical and Engineering Biology.
