Manage episode 489199915 series 3256819
About Eric Betzig:
Eric Betzig is a Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at UC Berkeley, holding the Eugene D. Commins Presidential Chair in Experimental Physics. He is also a Senior Fellow at the Janelia Research Campus and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. After earning his Ph.D. at Cornell and working at AT&T Bell Labs on near-field optics, he left academia in 1995 for the machine tool industry. He returned to science in 2005, building the first super-resolution single molecule localization microscope with Harald Hess, work that earned him the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Today, he develops advanced microscopy techniques for biological discovery, including correlative super-resolution fluorescence and electron microscopy, and 4D dynamic imaging of living systems.
