Welcome to the Kelly Lab at WSU!
Welcome to the Kelly Lab at WSU!
In the Kelly Lab, we employ a variety of experimental and computational methods to explore the nanoscale properties of membranes. In particular, we focus on novel sub-diffraction-limited optical methods, many of which we are developing ourselves. We are in the process of developing single-molecule localization setup to detect the interplay of nanoscale membrane curvature, molecular sorting, and lipid phase dynamics!
All interested students and collaborators are encouraged to contact us. We love to share our techniques and learn about new applications for them.
