Most LFD members attend the Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society and present posters and talks.

The LFD organizes an exhibitor booth, where visitors are provided with detailed information about the LFDs research and service facilities. The LFD Workshop and Weber Symposium are advertised and Globals software is demonstrated and distributed.

Meet us at the 55th Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society on March 5-9, 2011 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.


Welcome to the LFD

The Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (LFD) is a national research resource center for biomedical fluorescence spectroscopy, supported by the National Center for Research Resources division of the National Institutes of Health (grant number PHS 5 P41-RR003155), and the University of California, Irvine.

The founder and Principal Investigator of the LFD is Enrico Gratton.

The LFD's main activities are:

  • Services and Resources: the LFD provides a state-of-the-art laboratory for fluorescence measurements, microscopy and spectroscopy, with technical assistance to visiting scientists.
  • Research and Development: the LFD designs, tests, and implements advances in the technology of hardware, software, and biomedical applications.
  • Training and Dissemination: the LFD disseminates knowledge of fluorescence spectroscopic principles, instrumentation, and applications to the scientific community.
