We shall describe our work on the development of an optical control method based on the destabilization of biological membranes. As a destabilization agent, we explore the use of an azobenzene molecule that has both hydrophobic and hydrophilic ends. Our working hypothesis is based on the photo induced microscopic volume changes that can be obtained as a result of photo isomerization of azobenzene molecules inside the membrane. The current results, challenges and possible avenues will be presented and discussed.
