Biography

Taekjip Ha analyzes single molecules to understand how complex biological systems operate. His team combines sophisticated biophysical manipulation techniques and fluorescence imaging to visualize and manipulate proteins, RNA, and DNA molecules. By probing these molecules, researchers can decipher innate properties related to molecule's 'bendability' and how they bind and interact with one another. Ha’s team aims to emulate biological work within natural cellular environments by studying single molecules and testing diverse protein-nucleic acid as well as protein-protein interactions with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution.
