We want talent
Grad students, postdocs, lab tech/manager, and undergrads — we want you all!
We are actively searching for motivated and self-driven young scientists from a broad academic background (biology, chemistry, physics, engineering; click here for details) to assemble a collaborative team of talent with complementing expertise and, most importantly, eager to learn and pursue new and challenging lines of research.
Questions, inquiries, or collaboration opportunities — write to us!

What is in our lab logo?
A classic dual-trap optical tweezers experiment viewing at one of the two trapped beads, and between the two lies a single piece of DNA, RNA, or protein where forces can be exerted across. Or, a live cell experiment where an optical trap brings a bead to interact with a target cell, thereby probing its physical properties and applying a well-controlled mechanical perturbation.
It is also a happy scientist embracing intellectual challenges in research. A sea turtle (SY’s favorite animal) cruising in the ocean. And, Shannon’s initial.
