Professor of Anatomy and Structural Biology; Co-Director, Gruss-Lipper Biophotonics Center. Pioneered FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization), and combined it with high resolution microscopy to detect nucleic acids in single cells with single molecule sensitivity. Development of this technology provided the first description of mRNA localization, which led to a conceptual breakthrough in understanding how proteins are sorted to specific cellular compartments.
