Falk Schlaudraff , Dr.
Falk Schlaudraff promovierte an der Universität Ulm und arbeitete anschließend bei Qiagen. 2011 kam er zu Leica Microsystems, zunächst als Produktmanager für Lasermikrodissektion. Im Laufe der Jahre übernahm er die Verantwortung für weitere Produktlinien und stieg in Führungspositionen im Produkt-, Anwendungs- und Workflow-Management auf. Unter anderem leitete er Innovationen im Bereich der Lasermikrodissektion (LMD) und spielte eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Weiterentwicklung der Deep Visual Proteomics (DVP). Seit Januar 2026 leitet er das globale Application Management Life Science Research Team mit den Schwerpunkten konfokale Mikroskopie, Lichtblattmikroskopie und Weitfeldmikroskopie.
