Researcher | Research Background

Dr. Moffitt received his PhD in Physics from the University of California Berkeley where he built methods to follow the Angstrom-scale movements of individual enzymes in real time. He trained as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University where he co-developed a leading method for massively multiplexed single-molecule RNA imaging known as MERFISH.
