Research Interest:
We develop multiscale fluorescence imaging techniques for studying molecular interactions from the nanoscale to the mesoscale, with a special emphasis on understanding human immunity. The multidisciplinary imaging research combines single-molecule and super-resolution microscopy, multimodal imaging, nanotechnology, antibody chemistry, computational modeling, and T cell biology.

Minimum time commitment in hours per week: 10

Qualifications of a Student:
Background in any of the following areas is desirable:
- Microbiology and molecular biology
- Engineering
- Biochemistry and biophysics
- Bioimaging and microscopy

Brief Summary of what is expected from the student:
Students are expected to work under the supervision of a graduate mentor, keep a lab notebook, attend weekly group meetings, and report research to the PI.
