Research Focus
Professor Steve Presse's lab at Arizona State University focuses on advancing our understanding of biological processes at the single molecular level. The research aims to improve fluorescence imaging techniques to observe intracellular events without compromising the quality of data. By developing new mathematical tools, the lab seeks to track and model complex interactions of molecules within living cells, offering insights that could enhance disease diagnosis and treatment.
