Research Summary
Optical spectroscopy and microscopy, Biophysics, Bio-imaging, Chemical probe development.
Profile

Assistant: Ann Mao

Research in the Wei group lies at the interface of optical spectroscopy, chemical biology and life science. We develop cutting-edge optical spectroscopy and microscopy, in combination with new advances in chemical biology. We apply these new schemes to understand the dynamical physical and chemical processes in living systems.
