Versatile tools towards real-time, single-molecule and single-cell biology

Monday, November 29 at 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm Add to Calendar 2021-11-29 23:00:00 2021-11-30 00:00:00 Versatile tools towards real-time, single-molecule and single-cell biology We are pleased to host this online seminar on the Lumicks state-of-the-art optical tweezer system on Monday, Nov. 29 at 3:00 pm. This is a turn-key optical tweezer system for physical manipulation of single molecules in vitro as well as organelles in living cells.  For instance, the Narlikar lab has collaborated with Sy Redding to use this system for studying protein condensates on individual DNA molecules. The Chang lab is using this system to move around lipid droplets inside of yeast cells to probe forces within the cytoplasm. There is currently no such optical tweezer system at UCSF, and so we would like to raise general interest in the larger UCSF community for this. Please consider attending this seminar and learning more about this powerful approach.   Click Here to register Fred Chang - fred.chang@ucsf.edu; Geeta Narlikar - geeta.narlikar@ucsf.edu America/Los_Angeles public
