Michael Lin

Dr. Lin is an Associate Professor of Neurobiology, Bioengineering, and, by courtesy, Chemical and Systems Biology. His lab applies biochemical and engineering principles to the development of protein-based tools for imaging and control of biochemical processes. Topics of investigation include fluorescent protein structure and biophysics, fluorescent protein-based biosensors, neuronal activity sensors, spatiotemporal analysis of protein translation pathways, chemical control of protein translation, and light-responsive proteins.
