Aurèle Adam is one of the award winners to receive the annual Open Education Ambassador Award during Open Education Week. The award praises teachers as figureheads of open education.

Loek Andriessen started his thesis for the Nanobiology Masters in the lab of Hylkje Geertsema under the supervision of Myron Hensgens. We are trying to understand the spatial organization of the cell nucleus. Specifically, we investigate the distribution of nuclear lamin proteins using DNA-PAINT. The focus of his project is on investigating local differences in lamin protein distribution in 3D.

After a record-breaking 57 days, 7 hours and 38 minutes, NASA’s balloon telescope GUSTO completed its flight above Antarctica by landing on the ice by parachute. The mission was designed to last 55 days. GUSTO has observed atomic clouds in our own galaxy and its nearest neighbor with far-infrared cameras, developed by SRON and TU Delft.

Co Kadijk will be doing his thesis project on Focusing functions for photoacoustic imaging, to account for strong reflectors in the medium without artifacts, with the guidance of Koen van Dongen and Joost van der Neut.

Dr Jacob Hoogenboom has been appointed chair of the Department of Imaging Physics (ImPhys) effective from 1 June 2024. Jacob Hoogenboom is currently an associate professor with the department of ImPhys, whose research group develops new microscopic methods, techniques and instruments. Since 2008, Jacob has been working on integrated microscopy, which centres around the combination of electron and light microscopy. Jacob’s research also explores techniques to make simpler and cheaper components for electron microscopes. His research has led to the launch of spin-off Delmic, which has brought innovations from Jacob's lab into practice.

Boyd Peters is a Nanobiology MSc student and he joined the lab of Hylkje Geertsema for his thesis project. The main goal of this project is to establish an expansion microscopy protocol and utilize it to reveal the organization of the nuclear lamins and several other proteins.

Hanna Post has joined the MARS lab for her Msc project. She will work on B1+ mapping and adiabatic pulses under supervision of Masa Bozic-Iven.

Stijn Karaçoban joined ImPhys as PhD student. He will work in the Hoogenboom lab to work with electron microscopy.

Convergence Relay episode 3 features Jacob Hoogenboom. He is one of the drivers of the CIFIC flagship. ‘We want to accelerate the availability of new techniques to medical scientists.’
