Unveiling the nanoworld with super-resolution microscopy

In neurodegenerative diseases, about 99% are associated with protein molecules aggregating together. In recent years, super-resolution microscopy has revolutionised how scientists view these minute molecules aggregating, along with other cellular events. QBI’s Professor Fred Meunier advocated that The University of Queensland invest in super-resolution microscopy; this had paid dividends, revealing fascinating discoveries about the nanoworld. Professor Meunier and his lab can now observe molecules moving in space and time and are developing new techniques to better understand how our cells help us treat brain disorders and diseases. In this dynamic conversation, Professor Fred Meunier and Anusha Malapaka discuss How super-resolution microscopy works The different types of super-resolution microscopy What super-resolution microscopy allows us to see AI’s impact on future super-resolution microscopy technology Related resources Unravelling the mysteries of the presynapse with super-resolution microscopy Nanoscale spatiotemporal cluster analysis of expressed and endogenous proteins
