Dr. Douglas Shepherd's lab focuses on developing advanced imaging techniques to study life at the cellular level. Using a combination of innovative optical methods, the lab aims to understand how cells interact with their environments and how their movements are influenced by physical properties. This research is geared towards improving imaging technology to capture biological processes in real-time, which is crucial for understanding fundamental biological behavior.

Professor Steve Presse's lab at Arizona State University focuses on advancing our understanding of biological processes at the single molecular level. The research aims to improve fluorescence imaging techniques to observe intracellular events without compromising the quality of data. By developing new mathematical tools, the lab seeks to track and model complex interactions of molecules within living cells, offering insights that could enhance disease diagnosis and treatment.
