Professor Taekjip Ha is one of 10 Johns Hopkins faculty elected to the National Academy of Medicine 2021. He was elected for his work co-inventing the single-molecule FRET (smFRET) technology and numerous other innovations.

Ha’s laboratory focuses on visualizing how individual molecules move within proteins and DNA. Understanding these basic biological processes gives scientists a zoomed-in view of how cells maintain the genome.
