Welcome to the Immune Imaging Group in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois Chicago!

Our group develops single-molecule and superresolution techniques to study communications within and between immune cells. The technology development focuses on labeling strategies to enable quantitative superresolution imaging. The immunology research aims to understand how immune cells relay information under physiological and pathological conditions, with the goal of identifying potential therapeutic targets and mechanisms. The research combines single-molecule and superresolution microscopy, biophysical chemistry, nanotechnology, and immunobiology.

We develop superresolution imaging techniques by single-molecule labeling

We investigate specialized membrane structures for intra- and inter-cellular communications by immune cells.

We create impactful imaging-driven solutions to improve the standard of care in immuno-oncology.
