ABOUT US
Welcome to our group!
We are a research group in the Department of Chemistry, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, and the Biological Physics, Structure and Design Program at the University of Washington.
We develop new tools for high resolution fluorescence microscopy and use these tools, along with established ones, to understand the molecular-scale organization of biological systems. On the tool development side, we are synthesizing new fluorescent probes, creating new methods for tissue expansion and clearing, and developing assays to understand the organization of the genome. On the application side, we have partnered with biologists and pathologists to apply our imaging tools to the study of mouse neuronal circuitry, immune cell development, and pathology. Our diverse skill sets in chemistry, biology, and optics allows us to tackle these interdisciplinary problems.
Josh’s office is located in Bagley 215, group member offices are in Bagley 460 and 462, with a wet lab in Bagley 220 and a microscope lab in the Chem Library 064.

Congratulations Dr. Marcus Woodworth! While in our group, Marcus developed a new tool to probe multiple histone modifications at individual genes at single cell level with ~75nm resolution. We'll be watching out for more of his cool research and wish him the best of luck at @Penn pic.twitter.com/VLSWHGnpOI
