Summer & Rotation Projects

• Alternative labeling strategies for proteins and RNA (Spinach, .....)
• Optimization of tag sizes (length of MS2 cassette....)
• Imaging limits in model systems (yeast, non-adherent cells, worms and flys) including optimization of mounting media
• Basic molecular biology (Alexa report)
• Image processing [3D representation, state analysis , data mining,…)
• Calibration / development of microscope parts and performance (stability, registration, synchronization, temp control, multi-channel imaging)
• Compare imaging modalities for image processing and registration (test beads vs. NPC vs DNA / gain to photon calibration / sampling and resolution ratios [Nyquist and sub Nyquist imaging conditions]
• Viability and light
