Paul Wiseman got his PhD from the University of Western Ontario in 1995. He was a post-doctoral fellow at the Tokyo University & Nagoya University (1996-98)  and at La Jolla Interfaces in Science (University of California, San Diego, 1999-2001). He has developed novel approaches such as Image Correlation Spectroscopy (ICS) and Image Cross-Correlation Spectroscopy (ICCS).

His research group interests lie at the interface between the physical and biological sciences. Dr. Wiseman is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in cellular adhesion (how biological cells stick together and to an underlying substrate) and how cells dynamically regulate adhesion receptors to control cellular migration. He is also interested in developing new biophysical methods such as third harmonic generation (THG) microscopy and the use of bio-conjugated quantum dots as robust luminescent labels for biophysical imaging applications on live cells.

Dr. Wiseman is a member of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). He was awarded the Biophysical society’s “Young Fluorescence Investigator Award” at the 2005 Biophysical Meeting.
