Xiaowei Zhuang, PhD is professor of chemistry and chemical biology and of physics at Harvard University. Dr. Zhuang develops advanced imaging methods to reveal the molecular mechanisms of cellular function. Inventions from her lab, such as the super-resolution imaging method known as stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) and the single-cell transcriptome imaging method known as multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH), allow imaging of cells and tissues with single-molecule sensitivity, nanometer-scale resolution, and genomic-scale throughput. She will deliver a talk as part of the Department of Systems Biology's Distinguished Guest Speaker Seminar Series. For more information, visit the Zhuang lab.
