BurkeLab PhD student Shawn Chia-Hung Lee presents cell biology research at Army Research Office workshop

PhD candidate in BurkeLab Shawn Lee presented his thesis work “Investigation of mitochondria cristae ultrastructure and membrane potential changes using super-resolution Airyscan microscopy” at an Army Research Office online workshop on bioelectricity.

“With our new super resolution microscope, we are able to image the structure of living mitochondria. This will enable new understanding of a topic that BurkeLab first discovered about 5 years ago, that the mitochondria membrane potential is not uniform inside the organelle.”
