New CHS Short-Term Fellowship for Dr. Venera Weinhardt
New CHS Short-Term Fellowship for Dr. Venera Weinhardt, Centre for Organismal Studies (COS), for the development of novel X-ray imaging approaches from cellular to whole organismal scale to answer central questions in cell biology and biomedical research.
Research:
X-ray imaging technologies for biomedical applications
Venera’s research group is developing X-ray-based imaging techniques, including correlative approaches, to understand structural changes in pathological conditions. They are focusing on novel sample preparation pipelines, imaging methods, and algorithms for quantitative analysis, including AI-driven segmentation methods. Their approaches cover the nanoscale for analysis of cell anatomy up to the macroscale imaging of whole organisms. They are tailoring their developments in imaging technologies to understand developmental biology, mechanisms of viral infections, and activation of immune cells.
