Technology
Our laboratory's research integrates cell biology, optical physics, and biochemistry to address biological problems that current imaging technology cannot solve. To achieve this, we develop novel fluorescent probes, high-speed cell-friendly super-resolution methods, and computational modeling approaches. These tools are built to answer specific questions in our lab, and they carry over to cell biology research more broadly. We also apply them ourselves. We study how viruses enter cells by probing and remodelling membranes, and the structural changes viruses undergo during cell entry, uncoating and morphogenesis.
