DESCRIPTION:Prof. Johan Hofkens\, KU Leuven (B)\nBIOENGINEERING SEMINARAbs
 tract:\nSingle molecule spectroscopy has tremendously impacted every field
  where the technique was applied\, ranging from catalysis over plasmonics\
 , polymer physics\, biophysics to cell biology and DNA sequencing. Further
 more\, single molecule techniques have allowed researchers to push the res
 olution of fluorescence microscopy past the diffraction limit. In this pre
 sentation I will give an overview of recent single molecule experiments in
  my laboratory. Recent progress in instrumentation\, probe development and
  DNA mapping will be discussed.Bio:Positions held:\n2005-present   Hoogle
