Laboratory of Experimental Biophysics

Welcome to LEB!

We develop smart and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy methods. Our goals are to enable gentler live cell imaging, while adapting the measurement to the sample dynamics, and to correlate structure, dynamics, and function. We use these methods to study organelle dynamics, focusing on the mitochondrial life cycle.
