Subcellular Analytical Strategies

School Colloquia

Chemical cytometry opened up exciting opportunities for monitoring multiple chemical species in single cells and understand cellular heterogeneity. At the same time, it unveiled the need for novel technologies to analyze organelles within the cell. Such techniques would greatly advance our understanding on the roles of sucellular heterogeneity and organization in health, disease and aging. This presentation describes our current work aiming at developing and applying bioanalytical technologies to analyze and purify organelles. In particular, we will focus on the analysis of individual organelles, approaches to purify organelles, highly sensitive and selective measurements of subcellular properties, and the need to simplify tissue complexity.
