Her lab at the University of Michigan uses conventional and single molecule fluorescence imaging methods to rigorously apply physical concepts of phase separation to understand functional processes within complex cellular systems.⁠

In postdoctoral work at Cornell University, she found that plasma membranes isolated from cells are biologically tuned to be near a phase transition at growth temperature.

Professor Veatch obtained a BS in physics from MIT and a PhD in Physics from the University of Washington, where she described liquid-liquid phase separation and associated critical behavior in model membranes.⁠
