We build novel imaging technologies

The Lew Lab builds advanced imaging systems to study biological and chemical systems at the nanoscale. Our technology leverages innovations in applied optics, signal and image processing, design optimization, and physical chemistry. We partner with scientists and engineers across all disciplines to develop technologies to solve unmet needs in science, medicine, and society.
Diversity fosters creative ideas to challenging problems

The Lew Lab is a team of inventors, thinkers, and problem solvers working at the intersection of science and technology.
Creating impactful technology is our passion

Upcoming talks
Matt will present “Single-fluorogen imaging reveals the nanoscale structure of beta-sheet
assemblies and biomolecular condensates” in the “Single-molecule Dynamics in Complex
Chemical and Biological Systems” session at SERMACS
2023.
Come see his talk on Friday, October 27 at 10:15 AM in the Duke Rehearsal Hall - Durham Arts
Council.
“Capturing images of molecules with a new level of resolution: An interview with Prof. Matthew Lew” was published in Wiley Analytical Science magazine.
Congratulations to Weiyan, who won a poster award at the Chemical Imaging GRC 2023!
Our lab has received a five-year $2 million Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop adaptive six-dimensional microscopy. Congrats, all!
