Biography

Andriy Shevchuk's research is primarily focused on the design, development, and application of Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) in combination with scanning probe and live imaging techniques for a wide range of biological studies. He aims to introduce the latest technological advances in ion conductance microscopy to push performance limits, thereby creating a powerful and versatile technique that can address questions currently unattainable by existing methods. Recent improvements in resolving power and imaging rate have played a pivotal role in his work, making it possible to directly image endo- and exocytosis in living cells. This advancement opens the possibility for detailed live studies of critical processes such as receptor cycling, hormone secretion, drug delivery, and infection.
