  Adapting optical trap calibration methods for use with nanodiamonds, starting with water and glycerol solutions, then in living U2OS cells, paving the way to measure the position and forces exerted by motor proteins transporting cargoes in cells. Research done as part of the Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering (SURE) program at Professor Adam G. Hendricks’s lab.
