team focused on developing new ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy
techniques for investigating biological systems on the sub-micron scale.
We will expand the frontier of chemically specific sub-diffraction
limited spectroscopy and address a series of interesting and important
science questions focused on understanding how protein structures and
interactions at the nanoscale influence overall cellular and tissue
health. More specifically my group will develop new methods for
super-resolution stimulated Raman spectroscopy and two-dimensional
infrared spectroscopy. We will investigate how nanoplastics influence
protein structure, protein-chaperone interaction structures, and
kinetics of drug transport using 2DIR and SRS measurements from the bulk
proteins in solution to cell and tissue images. ​<br></p><p><span class="wrap-text">I am currently interested in students of the
analytical chemistry, physical chemistry and chemical biology pathways.
Students have the opportunity to learn a diverse set of skills not
limited to: optics, instrumentation development, instrument coding, data
analysis, live cell culture/assays, cell/protein/tissue preparation,
image analysis, biochemical assays.</span><br></p></div> | | | | | Research Overview | | | | | | amalpers@udel.edu | | Alperstein, Ariel | | | <img alt="Ariel Alperstein" src="/Images%20Bios/Alperstein-Ariel.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /> | Assistant Professor | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
