  • Plant Calcium Imaging

    The lab of Prof. Zhen-Ming Pei is interested in the early signalling events by which plants sense environmental signals and decode them to give the appropriate responses. Upon perception of external signals, cell surface receptors trigger an increase in cytosolic free calcium concentration, which is mediated by ion channels.

  • Single Microalgae Phototaxis

    Dr. Jorge Arrieta is a postdoctoral researcher at IMEDEA in the lab of Drs. Marco Polin and Idan Tuval, whose research area involves analysing the motility and behavioural in response to external stimuli of the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

  • Super-Resolution Standing Wave Microscopy

    The McConnell group are focused on the development of new optical microscopy methods for biomedical research and imaging.Previously, the McConnell group were using mostly fixed cell imaging in their biological investigations, but they are now focusing on the development of techniques that will improve their live cell imaging capabilities.

  • DeepSIM Super-Resolution at CrestOptics S.p.A.

    CrestOptics is a leading company in the development and manufacture of advanced systems for fluorescence microscopy, featuring products such as the X-Light series of spinning-disk confocal modules.

  • Synchrotron Beamline Measurements

    Dr. Hwang is participating in the Athena_e project, a collaboration between Helmholtz Centers for the technical evolution of plasma wake-field accelerators in conjunction with normal-conducting accelerating structures. Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) operates an advanced synchrotron light source, BESSY II, as well as the low energy storage ring Metrology Light Source (MLS).

  • Interferometry and Lithium Mapping

    Dr. Matthew Gebbie and team are an interfacial science and soft materials lab focusing on molecular interaction forces and self-assembly in soft materials. Dr. Gebbie told us more: “The key theme we are driving at is how ionic self-assembly influences electron transfer and ion transport.

  • T Cell Calcium Imaging

    Prof. Huppa and team study T cells, cells that play an important role in the immune response. These T cells can recognize antigens and distinguish between friend (normal cells) and foe (viruses or infected/dangerous cells) in our bodies.

  • Multicolor Single Molecule FRET

    The lab of Prof. Hugel is interested in obtaining real-time measurements of multi-protein complexes and their dynamic interaction. In living organisms, multi-protein complexes form intricate protein machines that regulate cellular processes.

  • High-Speed Optogenetics

    Dr. Isaac Kauvar is a neuroscientist and engineer, developing tools in order to discover how cortex-spanning neuronal populations support the deployment of internal models during goal-directed behavior.

  • Widefield Fluorescence Microscopy

    Professor Steven Pittler, Director of the Vision Science Research Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, uses fluorescence imaging to study the diseases related to vision. Dr. Pittler explains, “Our Molecular and Cellular Analysis Core focuses on the investigation of a range of ocular diseases in the anterior and posterior segments of the eye.

  • Single Molecule Imaging at University of Lund

    The Linke Group at the University of Lund, Sweden, creates artificial molecular motors and nanowires to better understand the role of biological motors in cellular processes such as cargo transportation, muscle contraction and cell division.

  • TIRF Microscopy, Dr. Shiaulou Yuan

    The Martina Brueckner lab at Yale University School of Medicine studies the genes of children with congenital heart disease. “We take a human genetics approach combined with animal models, such as mouse and zebrafish, and in vivo imaging.
