Research summary
AI-generated

Donghan Ma's work centers on developing and applying advanced light microscopy methods, particularly super-resolution single-molecule localization microscopy and adaptive optics, to visualize tiny biological structures such as proteins in brain synapses at very high resolution. The publication record also includes a distinct set of papers on food science topics like meat quality and poultry processing, suggesting collaboration across different research areas rather than a single unified focus. This profile may reflect contributions to multiple co-authored projects or a research group spanning both optical imaging technology and food/animal science applications.
