🛠️ Tools 🧰

Development of novel tools is an intricate part of our lab.

🔬  Single-molecule imaging

We use and develop methods to read and write information at single molecule level.

🎇  Programmable bioconjugation

We combine nonlinear optical microscopy together with chemoselective moeities to develop new ways to perturb and interrogate information at the single-molecule level.

🧠   Computational anatomy

Whole-mount 3D single-molecule data at the transcriptome level necessitates new ways compiling and analyzing anatomical data. We develop computational tools and resources.
