Scientific Ambassadors 2024/2025

Christian studied technical physics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and has been in charge of the small animal imaging facility at the University Medical Center Göttingen (Germany) since 2004. He is an expert in x-ray and optical imaging as well as in image processing and software development. Christian teaches imaging technologies, image processing and machine learning and is a long term user of EuroBioImaging and member of the reviewer panel.

Elina’s research area is mechanobiology and cellular biophysics. She has a wide expertise in light microscopy, especially confocal fluorescence microscopy imaging, and expansion microscopy and N-SIM super-resolution microscopy techniques. She aims to promote the visibility of collaborative networks and research infrastructure on bioimaging at the national and international level.

Muriel is a Cell Biologist specialized in electron microscopy currently holding a position as an Associate Professor at Aarhus University, Denmark. Her laboratory is dedicated to harnessing state-of-the-art electron microscopy technology to address biological questions with a special focus on unraveling the complexity of the mechanism of autophagy. She takes pride in her ability to collaborate within diverse research teams aiming to make impactful contributions to collective projects. She firmly believe that fostering a collaborative spirit is the key to cultivating innovation and ensuring continuous growth.

Being highly curious, Andrada likes to position herself at the intersection of several domains and understand the working of the human body using mathematics and AI techniques. Through her work, she wants to analyze biomedical imaging data in neuroscience and cancer research to improve the care in pediatric cancer and to downsize the underlying neurological changes that follow treatment.

Taissa is a researcher and science educator interested in the many aspects of virus-host interactions in emerging zoonotic viral diseases. She has a long-time passion for light microscopy methods, which are invaluable tools for understanding the dynamics of viral infections. Her current work focuses on studying the replication of (+)ssRNA viruses and the interaction of their genome with host cells.

Alexandros is the head of the “Immune Cell Targeting and Imaging” Lab, at the Institute for Experimental Molecular Imaging (ExMI), RWTH Aachen University Hospital. He serves the European Society for Molecular Imaging (ESMI) as Chair of the Image-Guided Drug Delivery Study Group, and the Controlled Release Society (CRS) as member of the Annual Meeting Program Committee. His research focuses on nanomedicine-based targeting and imaging of the cancer-associated immune system, funded by the German Research Foundation (JPI2021, CRU344, SFB1066), and the German Cancer Aid (Krebshilfe).

Judith loves to explore the world of molecular and medical imaging, where chemistry, biology, and physics intersect. Her objective is to discover the latest techniques that shape the landscape of multi-scale molecular imaging; and to gain insight into new contrast mechanisms for unprecedented insights into cellular and molecular processes, especially in the fields of oncology and neurology.
