Research Interests
Paul Selvin does advance fluorescence microscopy, with ultimate sensitivity (down to a single molecule level) and with super-resolution (down to a nanometer). He looks at molecular motors which move around inside of a cell and transport things; he also works in neuroscience, trying to understand what a memory is, where it is stored, why it disappears, and diseases which afflict us.
