MPS: Melike Lakadamyali - Super-resolution imaging of chromatin in health and disease

The Lakadamyali group is pioneering major developments in the field of super-resolution microscopy. These methods have enabled us to gain novel insights into the transport of vesicles along their cytoskeletal tracks and the spatial organization of nucleosomes along the chromatin fiber. Importantly, we have taken a highly quantitative biophysical approach in studying these biological processes, going beyond qualitative descriptions towards precise quantitative models.
