The Speakers

Dr. Sergi Padilla-Parra
After his MSc (major: Chemistry) obtained in Lund University (Sweden) he moved to the Neils Bohr Institute (Copenhagen, Denmark) to apply mathematical modelling to biological systems (from signaling to actin polymerization: towards a simplified mathematical model).
After that, he enrolled in a Research and Training Network on the Marie Curie FP7 (Institut Jacques Monod, Paris, 2006–2009) to apply his expertise in mathematics developing new methods in microscopy applied to complex biological problems (Regulation of actin assembly). In order to gain experience in biology and apply cutting edge microscopy approaches to retrovirus entry he moved to Emory University, Atlanta (2010–2012). After a period of two years he moved back to Europe to the University of Rennes in France, to implement the use of FRET biosensors in living embryos. Since April 2013, he is a principal investigator and leader of the Cellular Imaging Platform (CIP) at the Welcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics (WTCHG), University of Oxford. He develops novel quantitative microscopy approaches and apply them to better understand how some enveloped viruses (e.g. VSV, HIV or IAV) enter the host cell.

Dr. Zhongxiang Jiang
Zhongxiang Jiang received his PhD in cell biology in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). After graduation, he joined Leica Microsystems in 2011.
As application manager for confocal microscopy, he is experienced in general confocal microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, Coherent Raman Scattering (CRS) technique and the field of fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS).
