Proteins are ~1000x smaller than cells + they help cells carry out their specialized tasks! 🧐 We need better tools to see them in action. 🔬 Sabrina Simoncelli + team are working on building a new microscope that will allow us to study movement of multiple proteins in detail

Congratulations, Megan Joseph, PhD, on winning the Ganellin Prize for the best PhD talk in the Chemistry Biology section at UCL! 🔬🧬👩‍🔬You are such a pro! 😉

It was wonderful to be invited back as the Orbyts keynote speaker for the second year running! Orbyts is the reason I'm a researcher today. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Well done to my first LIDo Orbyts fellow Marc Amil for completing his first Orbyts project! The students clearly found it amazing. Let's hope there are many more LIDo-Orbyts projects to come!

Yet another amazing year of Orbyts!

Understanding our body’s T-cells is key to developing new ways to fight diseases! 💪🏻💪🏽💪🏿 This image taken by Sabrina Simoncelli + team shows how T-cell receptors form clusters when they are fighting infection or disease

I am delighted to announce I have won the MAPS Faculty ECR Forum Award 2024 for Outreach and Communication. As someone who understands the need for widening participation in science, this award is very close to my heart. For more info: ucl.ac.uk/mathematical-p…

Amazing talk from my supervisor!

An amazing collaboration and congratulations to Cecilia Zaza! Check out the preprint of our labs new approach to DNA-PAINT using a spinning disk with optical photon reassingment.

Amazing evening and company at the Sao Juliao da Barra fort #SMLMS2024! Olivia Megan Joseph, PhD Cecilia Zaza Julie Koziy

#SMLMS2024 was an amazing experience! Incredible science being showcased and a wonderful gala dinner setting. Thanks to all the organisers.

Thank you so much Sabrina for helping me start my scientific journey and all your support over the last four years! I'm honoured to have been your first PhD student and I've learnt so much from you.

Thrilled to share our latest work in Nano Letters! Can we measure association and dissociation constants within cell environments? Check out how we use single-molecule localization microscopy to determine protein-protein interactions in T cells. 🥼🔬 💪 doi.org/10.1021/acs.na…

What a great way to announce my new post doctoral research position with the Jungmann Lab by showing off my amazing graduation hat made by my fellow lab members! Thank you all for my wonderful gifts.

New paper from the Simoncelli lab! It was truly an honour to work with this amazing bunch of researchers. Congratulations to all the authors 🥳

It was a wonderful moment celebrating my PhD graduation! Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way. Especially my primary supervisor Sabrina Simoncelli
