Understanding molecular functions at the single-molecule scale
The Blanchard Lab is located at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee (https://www.stjude.org/research/labs/blanchard-lab.html). Our mission is to develop novel approaches, including single-molecule fluorescence imaging methods, to examine conformational and compositional processes critical to the functions of biological systems.
