DESCRIPTION:Prof. Ibrahim Cissé\nAbstract:\nWe develop highly sensitive m
 ethods of microscopy\, to go directly inside living cells and uncover the 
 behavior of single biomolecules as they effect their function in transcrip
 tion. Transcription is the first step in gene expression regulation\, dur
 ing which genetic information on DNA is decoded into RNA transcripts. The 
 live cell single molecule and super-resolution techniques are revealing no
 vel emergent phenomena inside the living cells. We will discuss our recent
  discoveries on highly dynamic biomolecular clustering\, and phase transit
 ions in vivo. These discoveries are challenging the ‘textbook view’ on
  how our genome is decoded in living cells.\n\nBIO: \nIbrahim Cissé is c
 urrently Director in Max Planck Gesellschaft\, heading the Department of B
 iological Physics at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology & Epigeneti
 cs in Freiburg\, Germany. Prior to this he was Professor of Physics at the
  California Institute of Technology (Caltech)\, and before\, an Associate 
 Professor with Tenure in Physics (& Biology by courtesy) at the Massachuse
 tts Institute of Technology (MIT). He received his Bachelor in Physics in 
 2004 from North Carolina Central University\, and his Ph.D. in Physics fro
 m the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in December 2009. He move
 d to Paris from 2010 to 2012\, where he was a Post-doctoral Fellow at Ecol
 e Normale Supérieure. He moved back to the US in 2013\, as a Research Spe
 cialist at the HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus before joining MIT in 2014
  as a junior faculty. His research on single molecule and super-resolution
  imaging has been recognized through many honors including being named a P
 ew Biomedical Scholar\, an NIH Director’s New Innovator awardee\, Scienc
 e News “SN10 Scientists To Watch”\, a Vilcek Prize for Creative Promis
 e in Biomedicine\, and a MacArthur Fellow.\n\n
