This year’s Heinrich Wieland Prize recognized Harvard University professor Xiaowei Zhuang for her lab’s development of stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), a technology that continues to bear fruit in the life sciences. Researchers have been using the superresolution method for more than 15 years, along with other techniques that break the Abbe limit, to improve their understanding of cellular functioning and interactions. Because researchers using STORM in the lab are capturing structural features at a molecular level that can provide early warning signs of disease, the technology shows great promise to become an effective diagnostic tool for clinicians.
