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.
