Bing FU, 傅冰

Research in the Fu lab focuses on utilizing single-cell single-molecule super-resolution imaging techniques to study complex biological systems, including microbial metal response mechanisms, host-pathogen interactions, interfacial charge transfer in bio-inorganic hybrids, etc. By integrating advanced optical imaging techniques with various chemical, biological and engineering tools, our lab investigates fundamental problems in microbial pathogenesis and energy conversion with high resolution and sensitivity at different scales, ranging from collective bulk cell behaviors down to single-molecular mechanisms. Dr. Fu has published in high-impact journals such as Nature Chemistry, PNAS, ACS Nano, etc. For more information, see group website: https://fulabsmimaging.github.io/fulab.github.io/ Bioimaging Single-molecule super-resolution fluorescence imaging Biophysics Infectious diseases Microbial-material interface
