Postdoctoral Fellow
Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Our lab is developing a series of cutting-edge methods to visualize cellular organization. As one example, we are using time-resolved cryo-vitrification (both cryo-plunging and high-pressure freezing) to visualize the nanoscale dynamics of cellular response to stimuli. In another direction, we are developing multicolor electron microscopy using the principle of “cathodoluminescence” – emission …
