User stories

Our lab uses the optoWELL for multichromatic control of gene expression in bacteria. With biological systems incorporating blue, red, and green light in our repertoire, it’s great having a device that enables precise control of all three wavelengths at once!

I work on understanding light-dependent regulation of the Drosophila circadian clock by Cryptochrome (CRY). Utilizing the optoWELL to look at light-dependent binding of peptides of its clock partner, TIM.
