RESEARCH 

I am scientifically interested in optimizing the application of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, with my present focus in the field of genetics. The improvement of tools to analyse the spatial organization of chromosomes on the nanoscale is my main focus with the ultimative goal to visualize the whole human genome. This task will include approaches that introduce quality control features that might support quantitative analysis of the super-resolved microscopy data.
