Jan De Bock , Dr.
Jan studied biology and did his PhD in the field of olfaction, characterizing olfactory neurons in their response to odorants.
Jan has worked as a microscopy expert in different roles since 2003. He joined Leica Microsystems in 2011 as a product specialist for confocal microscopy. In 2017, he became member of the newly formed Workflow and Application Team responsible for correlative workflows, in particular involving sample preparation and imaging under cryogenic conditions.
