Semiconducting nanoparticles known as quantum dots provide superior photo properties for single-molecule imaging. My current project is to develop quantum dot-based labeling methods to track synaptic vesicle turnover in cultured hippocampal neurons. My future goal is to engineer functional quantum dot labels for studying brain cell activity in vivo.
