Congratulations Arindam and welcome back to Würzburg!
Happy to share that I will be starting my independent research career as a Research Group Leader at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). Starting from January 2026, my group will be based at DKFZ National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT WERA), Würzburg, Germany.

New Preprint!
Ex-dSTORM resolves fine details of the molecular architecture of CCPs, the 8-nm periodicity of microtubules, and the docking site of synaptic vesicles at the presynapse of hippocampal neurons.

Amazing, congratulations!
How it started: About eight years ago Bob Tjian ("Tij") and I sat in the back of cab in San Francisco and discussed the crazy idea of using live-cell single-molecule tracking for high-throughput drug screening.

How it's going:

Functionalized Docetaxel Probes for Refined Visualization of Mitotic Spindles by Expansion Microscopy
Visualizing the ultrastructure of mitotic spindles, the macromolecular machines that segregate chromosomes during mitosis, by fluorescence imaging remains challenging. Here we introduce an azido- and ...

NIH-supported research saves lives: here are two "poster" human beings to prove it.
Emily Whitehead: cured of her leukemia by CAR-T developed at Penn.
Victoria Gray: major symptoms of her sickle cell disease resolved following CRISPR gene editing - path paved at Boston Childrens, UW, UC Berkeley.

🔬 Ever wondered how therapeutic antibodies work?
3D LLS-TDI-DNA-PAINT and live-cell LLS microscopy allow decoding of the molecular interplay of endogenous CD20 on B cells with therapeutic antibodies.
