Fluorescence Nanoscopy and Dynamics (FND) Lab

Responsabile scientifico: Prof. Luca Lanzanò
Luogo: C29 (piano -1)

The goal of the Fluorescence Nanoscopy and Dynamics (FND) lab is to develop advanced fluorescence methods and apply them to the investigation of biological structure and dynamics at high spatial and temporal resolution. Advanced fluorescence methods include time-resolved methods (FLIM, FCS), super-resolution microscopy, FRET. Representative applications are the investigation of chromatin organization and the study of DNA damage formation in cancer.
