i 7 53‘ of biophysics at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munich, he was appointed full professor of
_; .: ,7 biophysical chemistry at Braunschweig University of Technology in 2010.
His research is inspired by our emerging abilities to study and build matter bottom-up, starting from single molecules. He
has contributed to the breakthroughs of single-molecule superresolution microscopy by discovering the switchability
of commercially available fluorescent dyes such as Cy5 and by discovering the reducing and oxidizing system (ROXS)
which nowadays constitutes the photophysical model of antifading formulas for fluorescent dyes. He then was involved ’
in the development of three superresolution techniques including dSTORM, Blink Microscopy and DNA PAiNT. In recent
innovations, he combined optical single-molecule detection with DNA nanotechnology for self-assembled molecular f”
devices with optical readouts including energy transfer switches, calibration nanorulers, nano-adapters, optical signal
amplifiers and molecular force balances. Dr. Tinnefeld has authored more than i 10 publications and patents. He /
has received several awards including a Schloessmann Award of the Max-PIanck-Society, the Chemistry prize of the /
\ Gottlngen Academy of Science and is recipient of an ERC starting grant. /

' systems. His group develops state-of-the-art biophysical techniques (e.g., multicolor fluorescence, super—resolution
imaging, combined force and fluorescence spectroscopy. vesicular encapsulation, single-molecule pull-down)
and applies them to study diverse protein—nucleic acid and protein-protein complexes, and mechanical
perturbation and response of these systems both in vitro and in vivo. Ha is the author of more than 180 papers
