Gary Yellen, PhD
Dr. George Packer Berry Professor of Neurobiology,
Harvard Medical School

Most cellular processes are practically invisible – but genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors enable us to visualize a wide range of signaling and biochemical processes in living cells and in real time.  I will discuss the different design strategies for building these engineered proteins, as well as the various imaging strategies for turning their fluorescence signals into quantitative readouts of cellular function.

Coffee and snacks will be served. We encourage all those who are able to join us in-person! However, if you can’t attend in person, a Zoom link will be provided upon registration.

A small group lunch with the speaker will follow this event. This lunch will be open to Harvard students, fellows, and research assistants and is in-person only. Please indicate on the registration form if you are interested in requesting a spot at the lunch.

Uber vouchers or parking passes may be available for those coming from other Harvard campuses. Please email brain@harvard.edu by 12/1 to inquire.
