|
| Driven by a passion for insights into complex biological systems, I aim to develop innovative imaging methods. I am using smart microscopy strategies to adapt imaging parameters and modalities on-the-fly, allowing a better understanding of mitochondrial dynamics. Additionally, I work on a label-free super-resolution microscopy approach combining mass photometry and DNA-PAINT techniques. | |

Postdoctoral fellow
PhD, biomedicine/integrative life sciences, University of Helsinki 2022 Office: BSP428 juan.landoni@epfl.ch |
| I am a chemist turned mitochondria enthusiast. Using molecular biology, super-resolution microscopy and smart imaging techniques, I aim to decipher the complex behavior of the tiny intruders that live inside our cells, mitochondria, and how this affects their genetics, function and the health of the cell as a whole. | |

Postdoctoral fellow
PhD, neuroscience, University of Copenhagen 2021 Office: BSP424 matthew.lycas@epfl.ch |
| I really enjoy the challenge of maximizing resolution with super resolution microscopy to understand ultrastructural changes in cells. Through the combination of expansion microscopy with dSTORM, STED, and iSIM, I am addressing questions concerning centrioles as well as mitochondria. The goal is to improve our understanding of specific protein-protein interactions and to learn of their consequences on organelle function. | |

HFSP Cross-Disciplinary Postdoctoral fellow
PhD, engineering, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia 2020 |
| My research focuses on the design and development of versatile, smart microscopy architectures, with the ultimate goal of maximizing the information retrieved by each measurement. Currently, I am leveraging field-programmable gate arrays, fast computational tools, spatial light modulators, and many optical components to realise a multiplexed tracking system. | |
 |
|
| I am combining in situ cryo-electron tomography with super-resolution light microscopy and live-cell imaging. My ultimate goal is to visualize cellular architecture and organelle dynamics at high-resolution, live and in color. | |
