In the spotlight: Optical super-resolution microscopy

New modes of optical microscopy offer insights on the nanometre scale, combining the advantages of traditional high resolution methods, such as electron microscopy, with the advantages of using light for probing life and matter.

Group members elected as postdoctoral fellows of Robinson and Churchill Colleges

Congratulations to Claire Michel, Romain Laine, and Weiwei Cai for being elected into competitive postdoctoral fellowships at Robinson and Churchill Colleges, respectively

Protein released from cells triggers chain reactions which may cause Alzheimer's disease

A powerful laser imaging technique developed by the group reveals how minute quantities of a protein associated with Alzheimer’s Disease trigger a process which may be crucial to its onset and spread.

Disease related protein aggregates develop an intrinsic fluorescence signature

In recent articles published in the journal Analyst and ChemBioChem we demonstrate that disease related proteins such as amyloid beta and tau, the proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease, develop an intrinsic fluorescence when they form aggregates, so called protein amyloids.
