Projects: Information processing in cells

“In my PhD, I’ve worked on DNA damage responses in the context of changes to chromatin compaction states as measured with fluorescence anisotropy imaging. By inducing local damage with a laser, I’ve observed global dynamics in the nucleus. Since then I’m largely interested in biological information processing and develop tools and techniques to capture a wide range of information from cellular systems with the tools of microscopy. I aim to use advanced custom microscopy systems with open source control software to capture biological events across scale in very high spatiotemporal resolution and use tools of complex systems to understand emergence of living systems.”
