Professor Chirlmin Joo is a leading researcher in single-molecule biophysics at TU Delft, known for pioneering innovative techniques such as single-molecule multi-color FRET, protein pull-down, and protein sequencing. His work focuses on developing advanced single-molecule fluorescence methods to study the mechanistic properties of biological systems like CRISPR and Argonaute proteins at unprecedented resolution. By integrating next-generation DNA sequencing with fluorescence techniques, Joo's research opens new possibilities for genome-wide studies of gene regulation and protein analysis, paving the way for advances in single-cell proteomics and on-site medical diagnostics.
