Research in our Division covers three main areas, molecular biophysics of cellular motility, mechanisms of cellular osmoregulation, and calcium-dependent cellular communication and signal transduction.
We apply a broad range of high-resolution biophysical methods, including optical tweezers, single fluorescence and atomic force microscopy for single molecule studies in vitro and in cells. For cellular studies we also apply confocal and two-photon fluorescence microscopy, electron-microscopical techniques and electron-microprobe analysis.
