Ammasi Periasamy is an Indian American biophysicist who is a professor at the University of Virginia. He works on light microscopy, including the molecular imaging of living cells. He has developed a range of imaging systems, including confocal, multi-photon and fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy base devices.
Early life and education[edit]
Periasamy was born in India. He trained at the University of Madras and the Indian Institutes of Technology.[1] After earning his doctorate in 1984, Periasamy moved to the University of Washington for a postdoctoral research position.[1]
Research and career[edit]
Periasamy founded the W. M. Keck Centre for Cellular Imaging. His research considers the development of microscopy for imaging of living cells. He has designed various advanced modalities, including multi-photon and confocal approaches. In particular, Periasamy is interested in understanding protein-protein interactions and the monitoring of physical parameters in cancer cells.[2] Periasamy was one of the first researchers to demonstrate fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) and fluorescence lifetime redox ratio (FLIRR).[3][4][5]
