Postdoc in single-molecule MINFLUX microscopy

School of Engineering Sciences at KTH

The research project concerns the development and use of MINFLUX single-molecule microscopy for cellular imaging and dynamic studies on the nanoscale. The project is conducted at the national center for molecular life sciences and in the Advanced Light Microscopy facility (ALM, https://www.scilifelab.se/units/integrated-microscopy-technologies/ ) at the centra for molecular life sciences – SciLifeLab. The project takes place in collaboration with researchers at the centra with the goal of analyzing cellular processes on the nanoscale. Project aims and tasks include development of adequate single-molecule labeling strategies, optimized use of high-precision MINFLUX microscopy, and establishing methods for data precision analysis.
