Biography

Maxim Prigozhin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology and of Applied Physics at Harvard University. His research focuses on developing advanced biophysical methods for multicolor dynamic biological imaging at the molecular scale. He employs cryo-vitrification techniques combined with high-pressure freezing to capture the dynamics of cellular processes with known time delays. His work includes pioneering multicolor electron imaging through the study of cathodoluminescence and the development of nanoprobes, known as 'cathodophores', used with luminescent protein tags in electron microscopy. He applies these innovative methods to investigate G-protein-coupled receptor signaling and to visualize the formation of biomolecular condensates.
