The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008

The green fluorescent protein: discovery, expression and development
My research nowadays is tightly connected with this year Chemistry Nobel prize winners. The work of these 3 scientists changed the way we could look into the cells.
"These GFP-like proteins allow the monitoring in time and space of an ever-increasing number of phenomena in living cells and organisms like gene expression, protein localization and dynamics, protein-protein interactions, cell division, chromosome replication and organization, intracellular transport pathways, organelle inheritance and biogenesis, to name but a few."
