Physikerin der Woche - M.Sc. Jasmin Pape

Jasmin is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of NanoBiophotonics at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry / Max Planck Society. Under supervision of Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell she is working on the advancement of optical microscopy approaches to study biological mechanisms at the nanoscale. Together with her colleagues, Jasmin developed the approach for mapping proteins of different organelles with nanometer precision in all three dimensions and multiple color channels. To achieve such high precisions with conventional fluorophores, the researchers target the minimum of a doughnut-shaped excitation beam to positions very close to an emitting molecule. They can exploit the knowledge of beam position and beam shape, so that only few fluorescence photons are required to estimate the molecule position with nanometer-scale precision. The picture shows her at the microscope, aligning the beam path to achieve a perfect excitation beam shape.

New Insights on HIV virus revealed by Abberior STED-FCS.

Using Abberior STED-FCS, Christian Eggeling (Leibniz IPHT & Friedrich Schiller University Jena) and a team from four European countries discovered the existence and composition of a lipid-based platform for HIV virus assembly.
These results provide novel molecular insights on HIV virus assembly and are a starting point for the development of new antiviral drugs.
