Lydia Kisley, Warren E. Rupp Assistant Professor, Departments of Physics & Chemistry
Lydia Kisley, Warren E. Rupp Assistant Professor in CWRU Departments of Physics and Chemistry, was recently awarded a $1.9 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant for a project focusing on the “super-resolution fluorescence imaging of extracellular environments.” CWRU’s the daily recently profiled her in its 5 questions with… Lydia Kisley, physics and chemistry faculty member.
“It’s a dream to have the chance to bring people to Cleveland to do research,” Kisley said.
Now, Kisley has been awarded a $1.9 million NIH grant for a project focusing on the “super-resolution fluorescence imaging of extracellular environments.” Through the project, she and her team will image proteins in the biophysical environment outside of the cell—an area that has been under explored, as biophysicists have focused on the inside of the cell—with super-resolution microscopy. With an interdisciplinary approach, this research will impact and involve multiple areas of study, including physics, chemistry, biology, biomedical engineering and materials science.
