MAXFIELD LAB

WHAT WE DO

The central focus of the laboratory is the development and use of new optical microscopy and biophysical techniques to study the properties of living cells. We use digital imaging devices, confocal microscopes, multiphoton microscopy, automated microscopy systems, and image processing computers to analyze cellular processes. We apply these methods to study several diseases, including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Niemann Pick C disease.
