Jack Shepherd

Jack Shepherd is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of York, where he uses super resolution microscopy, single molecule force transduction tools, and molecular dynamics to probe systems ranging from single molecule DNA structure and dynamics to the algal pyrenoid to molecular crowding in yeast. He is principally interested in creating novel equipment, software, and methods including the magneto-optical tweezing fluorescence microscope COMBI-Tweez, and Python based single molecule tracking and diffusion/stoichiometry estimation software package PySTACHIO.
