第115回 アイセムスセミナー / CeMI セミナーシリーズ 32: Dr. Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz

CeMICenter for Meso-Bio Single-Molecule Imaging

Emerging visualization technologies are playing an increasingly important role in the study of numerous aspects of cell biology, capturing processes at the level of whole organisms down to single molecules. Photoactivatable fluorescent proteins (PA-FPs) have been particularly fruitful in this regard. They become bright and visible upon being exposed to a pulse of UV light. This allows selected populations of proteins to be pulse-labeled and tracked over time. PA-FPs have further permitted the development of single molecule-based superresolution imaging, which dramatically improves the spatial resolution of light microscopy by over an order of magnitude (~10–20 nm resolution), providing molecule scale information on biological events occurring at variable time scales. Here, Dr. Lippincott-Schwartz will discuss the new fluorescent imaging techniques and the ways they are helping researchers navigate through the cell to unravel long-standing biological questions.

After the seminar, an informal meet-the-speaker reception will take place at the Lounge, next to the seminar room. Please join us for more discussions with Dr. Lippincott-Schwartz.
