Bringing Experts to the Bench

Biophysics faculty research lies in the following areas of expertise:

  • super-resolution microscopy
  • developmental dynamics
  • protein folding
  • protein network analysis
  • signal transduction cascades
  • single-molecule biophysics
  • cellular physiology
  • development of novel imaging techniques

In addition to working at the crossroads of physics, biology and chemistry, we particularly seek to explore methods of mathematical analysis and computer modeling.
