 nOur primary goal is to use experiments to inform quantitative models for 
 the biophysics of protein assemblies\, in the cellular environment. Toward
  this goal\, we have developed super-resolution and single-molecule fluore
 scence imaging technologies. We have enabled automated 3D PALM acquisition
 \, developed algorithms for rapid and quantitative analysis\, and identifi
 ed better dyes and buffers for robust multicolor imaging. With these techn
 ological breakthroughs\, we have made several exciting biological findings
 . We showed that the bacterial division machinery is patchy across the cel
 l cycle and quantified its architecture for hundreds of cells\, constraini
 ng its potential role in generating force during cell division. We also re
 vealed the symmetry of the core centriolar protein complex\, a structure t
 hat is key to proper cell polarization and division. We are now poised to 
 take these studies to the next level with large-scale\, high throughput mi
 croscopy.
