ABOUT US

Welcome to the Ying Hu Group! We are an interdisciplinary group that develops advanced single-molecule and super-resolution fluorescence imaging techniques in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago. We apply these innovative techniques to investigate the spatiotemporal interactions of biomolecules in nanoscale volumes and their functional output with a particular interest in immune cells.
