Understanding the intricate interplay between the many molecules and organelles that make up the cell is the key to deciphering the physiological processes that govern health and disease.
In recent years, super-resolution optical microscopy has emerged as a powerful tool to study the spatial distribution of specific molecules of interest in cells and tissues at the nanoscale (1-100 nm). Imaging these molecules in the context of other molecules or the general structural context of the cell or tissue is, however, still challenging.
He will present his lab’s progress on two developments, pan-Expansion Microscopy (pan-ExM) and FLASH-PAINT, that tackle this challenge.
Jörg Bewersdorf is the Harvey and Kate Cushing Professor of Cell Biology and Professor of Biomedical Engineering and of Physics at Yale University.
