Brismar group - Cellular Biophysics

"We continuously work towards higher resolution, better quantification and around bleaching limits, through technological breakthroughs and in a tight colaboration with the Karolinska Institute."

Prof. Hjalmar Brismar, Head of Cellular Biophysics

Cellular BioPhysics

Our research group operates at the intersection of physics and biology, striving to elucidate the role of fundamental physical principles in cell biology. We are pioneers in the field of Na,K-ATPase signaling and have made significant contributions in understanding its functional aspects. Our projects span a wide range, all of which incorporate the use of advanced imaging methods. Additionally, we are actively involved in the development of new microscopy techniques. Our group, with a cross-disciplinary profile, is based at the Science for Life Laboratory and has members from both KTH and Karolinska Institutet. We combine experimental approaches rooted in advanced light microscopy with cell and molecular biology in our laboratory. We also manage and coordinate national microscopy infrastructures. Our work contributes significantly to the scientific community and pushes the boundaries of our research field.
