DESCRIPTION:Prof. Maria Kuimova\,\n\nImperial College (UK)\nIn a cell\, v
 iscosity can play a role in several diffusion mediated processes\, such as
  drug delivery\, signalling and mass transport. Previously\, alterations i
 n viscosity in cells and organs have been linked to malfunction\; however\
 , mapping viscosity on a single-cell scale remains a challenge. Kuimova’
 s lab has imaged viscosity inside lipid mono- and bi-layers\, in cells and
  in atmospheric aerosol particles using fluorescent probes\, called molecu
 lar rotors. The talk will cover the recent developments of this technique\
 , such as genetic and passive targeting of rotors and applications to moni
 toring neurodegeneration.\n\nAbout the speaker\nMarina Kuimova is a Reade
 r (Associate Professor) at Imperial College London. Her current research i
 s focused on elucidation of biologically relevant processes using differen
 t types of fluorescence imaging and time-resolved spectroscopy. She is a F
 ellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a member of the Editorial Boar
 d of Methods and Applications of Fluorescence. She has received numerous a
 wards and honors for her work. \n
