报告摘要：

Fluorescence imaging is a widely-used method for resolving molecular events in cells and tissues.The development of genetically-encoded fluorophores and a detailed understanding of their photophysics is critical for quantitative bioimaging. I will provide an overview of the properties of fluorescent proteins and biosensors and describe some of our research to quantify and improve the photophysics of these important biological probes with directed-evolution. I will also describe a new research direction aiming to dramatically enhance bioimaging by employing quantum optics techniques.
