DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz\, Eunice Kennedy Shriver Na
 tional Institute of Child Health and Human Development\, USA\nThis is a ke
 ynote lecture which is open to the public\, as part of the proceedings of 
 the 6th annual Single Molecule Localization Microscopy Symposium (SMLMS 20
 16) conference.\nThis conference is funded by the NCCR Chemical Biology.\n
 Bio: Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz is the Chief of the Section on Organelle
  Biology in the Cell Biology and Metabolism Program\, in the Division of I
 ntramural Research in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Chi
 ld Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health. Lipp
 incott-Schwartz received her Ph. D. from Johns Hopkins University. Followi
 ng Johns Hopkins\, Lippincott-Schwartz completed her post-doctoral trainin
 g with Dr. Richard Klausner at the NICHD\, NIH in Bethesda\, Maryland.\nTh
 e current research of Lippincott-Schwartz has helped to debunk the traditi
 onal ‘static’ view of molecules in cells including the methods of secr
 etory membrane trafficking\, compartmentalization\, and trafficking of euk
 aryotic cells. Her research involves multiple live cell imaging techniques
  in order to study the dynamic interactions of molecules in cells and has 
 led to a more lively view on the inner-workings of the cells. Such live ce
 ll imaging techniques include green fluorescent protein fusion alongside p
 hotobleaching and photoactivation techniques which allow investigation of 
 subcellular localization\, mobility\, transport routes\, and turnover of i
 mportant cellular proteins related to membrane trafficking and compartment
 alization. Lippincott-Schwartz's lab also tests mechanistic hypotheses rel
 ated to protein and organelle functions and dynamics by utilizing quantita
 tive measurements through kinetic modeling and simulation experiments.
