Professor Marisa Martin-Fernandez

Marisa joined the Central Laser Facility i​n 2008. Her research is geared to understanding the intricate network signalling behaviour of cells in their physiological environments within tissues. The aim is to describe the basic molecular ingredients, signalling pathways and supramolecular structural and spatio-temporal rules regulating signalling outcomes. Methods employed include multi-dimensional and multi-colour single molecule fluorescence imaging, single pair and ensemble FRET and polarisation in conjunction with the modelling of behaviour at atomic resolution within a mathematical framework.
