Capturing Biomolecular Interactions at Single-Molecule Level via ABEL Trap Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Dr. Allison Squires of the University of Chicago presents an invited talk at the 2024 Symposium on Physical Genomics at Northwestern University.
Prof. Allison Squires is the Neubauer Family Assistant Professor of Molecular Engineering in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering. The Squires Group’s interdisciplinary research centers on sensing, imaging, and manipulating nanoscale processes in biophysical systems. She holds a BSE in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton University and received her PhD in biomedical engineering as an NSF and Clare Boothe Luce Fellow at Boston University, where she worked on solid-state nanopores as single-biomolecule sensors. Prior to opening her lab at the University of Chicago, Prof. Squires completed post-doctoral training in the Chemistry Department at Stanford University, where she pioneered a new platform, the ISABEL Trap, to trap single particles in solution and watch them in action.
