Through the use of advanced imaging techniques, including super-resolution live imaging, two-photon imaging, MALDI MS imaging and other interdisciplinary imaging tools, our team is committed to exploring dynamic changes at the cellular level and intact organisms, metabolism during development and disease, and functional interactions between nanomaterials and biological system.
