Research in our lab is aimed at improving the resolution of fluorescence microscopy.  The properties of light mean that standard microscopes can at best resolve features which are around 200nm apart.  However, many biological features are smaller than this.  Over the last twenty years, a number of super-resolution techniques have been developed which substantially improve the resolution that can be achieved.  However, these techniques are often slow, or damaging to the sample.  Our focus is on developing improved super-resolution techniques that allow data to be taken in live cells.
