The Molecular Dynamics of Life: Probing with Non-linear Photonics

Watt W. Webb

Cornell University

Molecular signaling in biological systems challenges the fundamental limits of experimental physics in single molecule sensitivity, temporal and spatial resolution, and in complexity of system organization and fluctuation dynamics. We shall show some methods and recent biophotonic successes addressing some of the “impossible” problems of biophysics.
