Lester Wolfe Workshop in Laser Biomedicine

“Lighting up Life: a Tribute to Roger Y. Tsien”



Roger Yonchien Tsien (1952–2016) shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 for pioneering work in developing a “rainbow” suite of fluorescent probes based on the green fluorescent protein originally isolated from jellyfish. This memorial Lester Wolfe Workshop will celebrate his life and work with contributions from his former mentees, and forward- looking talks on applications to monitor neural circuits together with optogenetics and biosensors.
