Research Interests
The Endesfelder group focuses on the application of techniques from the emerging field of single-molecule imaging and super-resolution microscopy to study cellular biophysics.
By combining physical concepts of imaging, photo-manipulation of fluorophores and quantitative read-out analyses, we aim at a single-molecule description of cellular structures and processes.
