Cell Biology and Biophysics

Members of the Cell Biology and Biophysics subgroup investigate how subcellular and biochemical processes determine the physiology and behavior of cells. Precise measurement of cellular activities through advanced imaging and analytical approaches provide insight into the basic organizational unit of life—the cell.
