R. Michael Everly's research focuses on using ultrafast laser pulses and optical techniques to precisely control and perturb specific locations inside living cells and organisms, such as releasing chemical compounds (like ATP) at exact moments and locations to study biochemical processes in real time. This work combines photonics, microscopy, and biology to develop tools for probing subcellular activity with high spatial and chemical precision. Earlier work included using synchrotron X-ray imaging to guide protein crystal studies.
