Reading out neuronal activity from three-dimensional (3D) functional imaging requires segmenting and tracking individual neurons. This is challenging in behaving animals if the brain moves and deforms. The traditional approach is to train a convolutional n ...
In this thesis, we explored on-chip high-resolution imaging of the fate of intestinal bacteria and bacterial products in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). In the first part, we carried out high-resolution z-stack fluorescent imaging of Red Fluorescent P ...
The search for an understanding of the causal elements that lead to neurodegenerative diseases has motivated researchers for decades. Today, Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent form of dementia and affects approximately fifty million people worldwide ...
Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) can reveal nanometric details of biological samples, but its high phototoxicity hampers long-term imaging in live specimens. A significant part of this phototoxicity stems from repeated irradiations that are n ...
Recent technological advances in light-sheet microscopy make it possible to perform whole-brain functional imaging at the cellular level with the use of Ca2+ indicators. The outstanding spatial extent and resolution of this type of data open unique opportu ...

The development of novel fluorogenic probes and their use in live-cell imaging lead to a plethora of discoveries in biological research. Herein I report on novel red fluorogenic probes for live-cell super-resolution microscopy of various cellular organelle ...
Infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance are major burdens in developing countries, where very specific conditions impede the deployment of established medical infrastructures. Since biosensing devices are nowadays very common in developed countrie ...
Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) techniques, such as PhotoActivated Localization Microscopy (PALM) and STochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy(STORM), can get around the diffraction limited resolution of conventional fluorescent microsco ...
To address limitations in the production of DNA aptamers against small molecules, we introduce a DNA-based capture-SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) protocol with long and continuous randomized library for more flexibility, ...
Speed has always been a critical consideration in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), promising dramatic gains in imaging speed, a reduction in motion and susceptibility artifacts, and ultimately increased throughput for clinical studies. This thesis present ...
