Grounds for Science: Unveiling the Micro World | Emeryville

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join them to hear how two UC Berkeley researchers are learning about biological processes happening at the nanoscale.

Living organisms derive their incredible structural and functional diversity from details at the nanoscale.  While fluorescence microscopy enables scientists to visualize specific components in cells, it suffers from limited resolution.  Recent developments in fluorescence microscopy have led to STORM, which can provide a much more detailed view of cellular structures, and can therefore help elucidate how cells function at a fundamental level.  Come learn how this technology works, and see a few real examples of groundbreaking biological discoveries made possible by STORM.
