Taekjip Ha

TAEKJIP HA is a world leader in single-molecule biology and intracellular imaging using light to study nature’s nano-machinations. His research pushes the limits of single-molecule detection methods to study complex biological systems. Ha is pioneering fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and his studies have revealed new information about how helicase moves along a DNA molecule as it unwinds the strands.
