Cells are crowded with macromolecules that form highly organized yet dynamic structures. While advances in fluorescence microscopy enable us to visualize this spatiotemporal heterogeneity, the mechanisms underlying intracellular organization remain largely unknown. The Weber lab uses quantitative live-cell imaging and physical modeling to understand how biological systems establish and dynamically regulate spatial order in the cell and ultimately how these processes affect the growth and size of the whole organism.
