Multiscale measurements of molecular dynamics in cell and tissue (SPT, FCS, tICS, AiryScan, SIM, STED, SMLM, , Live SR, FRAP, live confocal imaging, Live TIRF and optogenetics)
Technology: Super-resolution microscopy (STED, SMLM, SIM, expansion)
A set of advanced fluorescence techniques that overcome the diffraction limit of light, allowing visualization of cellular structures at the nanometer scale and revealing details far beyond conventional microscopy.
Gene expression, DNA damage, DNA structure and DNA-binding proteins structures, super-resolution (SMLM, RIM, SIM, Airyscan), single particle tracking, photo-manipulation, Correlative Light Electron Microscopy (CLEM)
T-cell cytotoxic function relies on the cooperation between the highly specific T-cell receptor (TCR) and integrins of co-stimulatory molecule at the immunological synapse. Super resolution 3D STED (Leica SP8, 775 nm) is used to study the oorganisation of these molecules during the activation of immune response. Image cytometer (ImageSteam) allows the quantification of molecules recruited at the immunological synapse in a large number of cells.
STED correlative imaging with molecular dynamic and interaction (FCS-FLIM-FRAP-FRET) on thin, thick samples
Low signal fast live imaging at nano-scale level (Airy / Fast Airyscan , Live-3D-STED, Live-3D-SLMN)
Cell-biology expertise: providing cells(epithelial, glial, neuronal) and organoïds, labelling (transfections or probe-Test), and imaging for physicist, chemist that would like to test a prototype.
