De Hartstichting heeft onderzoeker dr. Sebastian Weingärtner van de TU Delft een Dekkerbeurs toegekend. Dat is een persoonlijke onderzoeksbeurs voor getalenteerde wetenschappers die jaarlijks wordt toegekend. Met de beurs van 490.000 euro kan hij de komende jaren onderzoek doen naar hart- en vaatziekten.

Joost van der Neut will be working as a postdoctoral researcher at ImPhys with Eric Verschuur. His research interests include wave propagation, imaging and inversion.

Megha Khokhar will be working in the field of 4pi localization microscopy technique aiming to image fluorescence at cryogenic temperature. She will work under the guidance of Prof. Bernd Rieger and Prof. Sjoerd Stallinga.

Alim Yolalmaz is a post-doctoral researcher in Kalkman Research group supervised by Prof. Jeroen Kalkman. He received his Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in Micro and Nanotechnology from Middle East Technical University in Turkey. He has a B.Sc. degree in Physics Engineering with a double major in Mechanical Engineering at Gaziantep University in Turkey.

Lidija Nikolic joined ImPhys as Management Assistant. She is originally from Slovenia and has been living in The Netherlands for 15 years. Although she is totally new to TU Delft, she has gained experience in international environments during her previous assignments.

The ministry of Education, Culture and Science has awarded a Zwaartekracht funding of 20.8 million euro to the IMAGINE! consortium, of which TU Delft researchers Elizabeth Carroll, Sjoerd Stallinga (both ImPhys) and Carlas Smith (3ME) are a part of.

She's a cell biologist, he's a physicist. They met in Harvard. In the Netherlands they developed the UFO microscope that can distinguish a few dangerous cancer cells from a sea of ​​innocent ones.

Making detailed 3D images of proteins in living cells with a special light microscope, without damaging those cells. That is what Sjoerd Stallinga, winner of an ERC Advanced grant worth 2.3 million euros, wants to achieve. In order to do so he is going to scan samples nanometer by nanometer using a sophisticated 3D light pattern in an approach that requires extensive collaboration between different disciplines.

The European Research Council has awarded an ERC Advanced Grant to Sjoerd Stallinga The European grant enables internationally established research leaders to conduct a five-year research project.

Voltage imaging and optogenetics offer new routes to optically detect and influence neural dynamics. Optimized hardware is necessary to make the most of these new techniques. In this study the Octoscope, a versatile, multimodal device for all-optical electrophysiology is presented. The researchers illustrate its concept and design and demonstrate its capability to perform both 1-photon and 2-photon voltage imaging with spatial and temporal light patterning, in both inverted and upright configurations, in vitro and in vivo.
