Research Focus
Jerome Mertz's research lab focuses on improving imaging techniques in biology using superresolution fluorescence microscopy. They aim to develop a new method based on random speckle illumination that allows for faster and more effective imaging of biological samples, particularly mouse brain tissue. This research will enhance the study of gene expression and improve the analysis speed of biological samples.
