Focused on increasing throughput of optical methods to study signalling in disease. Located at Turku Bioscience, Turku, Finland.
(1/x) Excited to report VIPS (Volumetric imaging of biological specimens via photochemical sectioning) @science.org! VIPS uses light-based sample sectioning to eliminate the inherent imaging depth limit of high-resolution optical microscopes @supgokul.bsky.social: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
17.10.2025 11:06 — 👍 12 🔁 7 💬 1 📌 1Halfway to I2K is BACK, friends of all kinds! Last year, 650 people attended 30+ TOTALLY FREE image analysis workshops of all kinds, across many timezones.
If you make image analysis software and want to teach it, workshop submissions are open now! We'd love to have your tool highlighted.
I'd like to share a little bit of happy lab news in these chaotic times: a new preprint, driven by the brilliant Qinhao Cao!

We address a big challenge in synbio: If you give me a protein "X", how can I give you a version of X whose activity is controlled by a kinase?
Our manuscript on accelerating the acquisition rate in oblique plane microscopy (OPM) is online now:

Our work addresses the issue that an OPM PSF is tilted, and as such it leaves a lot of "empty space" in Fourier space (FFT of experimental data on the right)... 1/n
Teach your #microscope how to print: Low-cost & rapid-iteration #OpenSource #microfabrication for #biology:
-µm-scale precision across cm-sized area
-no cleanroom requirement
-SU8 replacement

New in biorxiv on magnetogenetic design -
"key reaction step involved e- transfer ...to form a triplet spin-correlated radical pair. The magnetic field then controlled the branching ratio between singlet recombination vs. triplet separation."

I recommend these optomechanics for 'O2-O3' in a single-objective light-sheet (SOLS) microscope:
-> Mechanically and thermally stable.
-> Relatively straightforward to align.
-> 10 popular configurations.

Do you LOVE organelles??
Well I am THRILLED to announce that Nellie has been published in @naturemethods.bsky.social!
Nellie a fully automated pipeline for organelle segmentation, tracking, and hierarchical feature extraction in 2D, 3D, timelapse, multichannel live-cell microscopy

We have relied heavily on Twitter for our PR until now, so its slow but painful death spiral leaves us in a bit of a pickle. Please help us rebuild our following over here by re-tweeting.
Biologists ask me all the time:
How can we gain computational skills?
