I have had a long standing interest in utilizing an interdisciplinary scientific approach to develop and apply novel and innovative fluorescence microscopy imaging techniques to answer critical and previously intractable questions in cell and neurobiology. I have developed and applied advanced microscopy techniques, cell biological applications, and quantitative image analysis to uncover novel spatial and dynamic relationship between proteins, ncRNAs, and viral RNA genomes. As Director of the Microscopy Core at the Neuroscience Center, I provide and customize state-of-the-art optical imaging and analysis applications to support a wide range of scientific investigations. In addition to providing access to high resolution imaging technologies, the Neuroscience Microscopy Core also implements new imaging technologies, provides training, consultation, data analysis, image processing, and centralized technical expertise to support the imaging needs of scientists in the UNC community
