Macropinosome Measurements with Rotational Optical Traps

Explored the possibility for rotational optical traps to make measurements inside of macrophages. We used a novel rotational optical trap, fluorescent microscopy and electron microscopy to determine the viability of rotational probes in a biological specimen.

Undergraduate capstone project taken under the supervision of Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop, and Alex B Stilgoe at the University of Queensland.
