Single Molecule Imaging

 

Single molecule approaches have the advantages of avoiding ensemble averaging, observing transient intermediates and heterogeneity (both static and dynamic), and they have started revolutionising the way many biomedical questions are addressed. My group is interested in the development and applications of single molecule methodologies, in particular novel fluorescence imaging methods including super-resolution imaging, to monitor the behaviours and properties of individual biological molecules, molecular complexes and molecular machines, in vitro and in living cells. I am currently working on the following specific projects:  amyloidogenic protein aggregation on model and live cell membranes, DNA G-quadruplexes as novel therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases and imaging bacterial stress response.
