Our research drives innovations at the intersection of single-molecule and superresolution microscopy, immunobiology, and nanobiotechnology, spanning both fundamental discoveries and translational applications.

  • Mapping cytokine transport and release from immune cells at the single-vesicle level
  • Discovering mechanisms of action for therapeutic antibodies at the single-antibody level
  • Assessing targeted protein degradation in live cells
  • Evaluating drug, vaccine delivery, and nanomedicine at the nanoscale
  • Assessing nanoscale membrane biophysics in immune cells
  • Advancing quantitative in situ superresolution imaging techniques
  • Unveiling spatiotemporal regulations of biological functions through low-affinity DNA-protein, RNA-protein, and protein-protein interactions
  • Dissecting photophysical properties of engineered nanoparticles at the single-particle level
  • Single-molecule mapping of electrochemical activities
  • Elucidating nano-bio interactions in the context of phototherapy using exogenous nanomaterials
  • Modulating cytokine production at the transcriptional, translational, and transport levels in immunotherapies and autoimmune conditions
  • Phenotyping engineered T cells against lymphoma and leukemia
