Laboratory of Applied Biophysics and Biomedical Optics

Welcome to the Oh lab at UCSD! Our research group is part of the Department of Physics and the Department of Cellular And Molecular Medicine at the University of California, San Diego. We are interested in how life controls its physical properties and are currently focusing on single-cell regulation of protein and lipid mass, volume, and density. We develop cutting-edge label-free optical microscopy tools including quantitative phase microscopy and nonlinear optical microscopy to explore these phenomenon in cells, small model organisms, and tissues.
