Illuminating Biochemical Activity Architecture of the Cell

It has become increasingly clear that cellular biochemical activities are compartmentalized in
nanoscale domains that define the biochemical architecture of the cell. Despite advances in
molecular sensors and optical imaging, direct interrogation of any minute activity domains at the
molecular length scale remains a challenge. In this talk, I will focus on cAMP and Ca2+
regulated signaling activities and present studies where we combined genetically encoded
fluorescent biosensors, superresolution imaging, targeted biochemical perturbations and
mathematic modeling to probe the biochemical activity architecture of the cell.
