JCS snapshot: Redefining colocalization analysis with a novel phasor mixing coefficient

Posted by FocalPlane, on 6 March 2026

In our latest JCS snapshot we hear from Owen Puls, who together with Teng-Leong Chew and team define a new strategy for quantifying biological association that leverages multispectral imaging and phasor analysis, termed the phasor mixing coefficient (PMC). In this snapshot, Owen takes us through the key findings from their research.
