Research summary
AI-generated

Richard N. Day develops advanced fluorescence microscopy methods to visualize molecular processes inside living cells and tissues. His work centers on techniques like FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) and fluorescence lifetime imaging to track protein interactions, cell signaling, and metabolism, often applied to biology such as pancreatic beta cells, kidney, and liver. This combines physical imaging technology development with cell and physiological biology.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
