معرفی
Thorsten WOHLAND is a Professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS), affiliated with the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry within the Faculty of Science. He leads the Biophysical Fluorescence Laboratory and is part of the Center for Bioimaging Sciences. His research focuses on developing novel fluorescence spectroscopy techniques, particularly imaging fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (Imaging FCS), to study biomolecular interactions in cells, tissues, and organisms. Key research areas include viral infection mechanisms, transmembrane protein dynamics, and biofilm characteristics.
Education:
- Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford University (USA)
- PhD, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland)
- Dipl. Phys., University of Heidelberg, Germany
Research Highlights: Wohland’s lab pioneered techniques like ITIR-FCS and SPIM-FCS, enabling high-resolution, real-time analysis of molecular dynamics with single-molecule sensitivity. They integrate statistical methods and deep learning to analyze complex biological systems, such as EGFR receptor organization and dengue virus entry mechanisms.
Labs & Teams: The Biophysical Fluorescence Laboratory is a multidisciplinary group combining expertise in physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science to advance fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy tools.
