Mats Walldén defends his PhD thesis entiteled 'How precise is cyclic life?'

The Nobel Prize in chemistry 2014 has brought a lot of attention to the application of super resolution microscopy.

What is the importance of super resolved fluorescence microscopy for the research in the Elflab and for our society in general, what are the life-stories of the Nobel laureates and what is the next challenge for life science microscopy?

We almost take it for granted, the fact that we can peer into the nano-world and study the life and beauty of individual molecules as they go about their business in the crowded interior of the biological cell. Not so long ago this was impossible... theoretically.

Arash Sanamrad defends his PhD thesis entiteled 'Biological Insights from Single-Particle Tracking in Living Cells'

In this work, we track fluorescently labeled ribosomal subunits in bacterial cells and show that free ribosomal subunits have full access to the nucleoid.

Petter Hammar is awarded Bjurzons Premium for his thesis 'lac of time'.

We have previously shown that the lac repressor slides along the DNA to speed up the search for its specific binding site. By combining micro- and macroscopic computational models, we have now been able to investigate the details of the sliding mechanism on the atomic scale.

Petter Hammar successfully defended his thesis: 'lac of time

In a recent publication, we show that there exist an optimal TF binding strength, where the time the binding site is free is not dependent on TF concentration.
