Single molecules in confining and crowded environments

We use and develop tools for measuring and manipulating single molecules. Our intent is to understand the physics of biological molecules and molecular complexes in confining or crowded environments up to and including living cells. We seek to understand how individual biomolecular components work together to drive empirical behavior of living systems. More...
