Life is animate and three-dimensional.  Our lab develops tools to better understand living specimens at single molecule, cellular, and tissue level length scales. This work exists at the interface of physics, engineering and biology and is highly collaborative.

The lab is jointly affiliated with the UNC department of Pharmacology and with the joint department of Biomedical Engineering at UNC/NC State. We welcome students, post docs, and collaborating scientists with an interest in new technologies, methods, or in applying these tools to address fundamental problems in cell and developmental biology.
