DESCRIPTION:Dr. Peter Maurer\, Stanford University\nAbstract:\nInvestigati
 ng biological systems at the single-molecule level provides insights that 
 are often not accessible through ensemble measurements. Such systems range
  from heterogeneous and dynamic processes to protein distribution and inte
 raction in cells. In my talk I will discuss the development and applicatio
 n of novel technologies to study biological systems at a single-molecule l
 evel. I will start with a general introduction to quantum sensing\, which 
 recently has enabled the measurement of magnetic fields at a nanoscale. I 
 will then show how we utilize such sensing techniques to control the tempe
 rature profile in living systems with subcellular resolution.  Furthermor
 e\, I will introduce a multicolor electron microscopy modality that can vi
 sualize the absolute location of proteins within the context of cellular u
 ltrastructures with up to ten nanometer spatial resolution. Finally\, I wi
 ll provide an outlook on how quantum sensing and single-molecule biophysic
 s can be utilized to perform nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy with 
 unprecedented sensitivity\, possible down to the level of individual biomo
 lecules.
