Leila Nahidiazar , MSc
After graduation as an electrical engineer from Iran, Leila moved to Sweden for Master studies at KTH university in Photonics which covers laser light technology from semiconductor devices to fiber communication. Then she gained valuable experiences of two years collaboration with Optics groups at Twente university. Her research was on live cell imaging with CARS microscopy.
Currently she uses GSD super-resolution microscopy to improve various aspects of sample preparation, specimen mounting and imaging quality. With this super-resolution technique, she studies the organization of the cytoskeleton.
The Molecular Architecture of Hemidesmosomes as Revealed by Super-Resolution Microscopy
Hemidesmosomes have been extensively studied by immunofluorescence microscopy, but due to its limited resolution, their precise organization remained poorly understood. We studied hemidesmosome…Read article
Practical Guide for Excellent GSDIM Super-Resolution Images
