Shimon Weiss, DSc

Dr. Shimon Weiss's research focuses on single molecule biophysics, particularly the application of single molecule spectroscopy: to biology and nanotechnology, dynamic structural biology, conformational dynamics of molecular machines, protein folding, protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions, single molecule enzymology, ultrahigh resolution & ultrahigh sensitivity fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy and the physics and chemistry of mesoscopic (nano-scale) systems.
