The Biocomputing Unit of the National Biotechnology Centre is looking for excellent master students in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or any other field related to data analysis. The PhD would be in fluorescence microscopy image processing.
This project involves several fast-growing technologies: electron cryo-microscopy and deep learning. Our laboratory is located at the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología in Madrid, a reference institute in Spain in cryo-EM, with highly advanced fluorescence microscopy facilities. Moreover, our group is a world reference in this field. In this work we intend to follow two main lines of work:
- Spatio-temporal analysis, which will allow a more accurate detection and quantification of dynamic phenomena at the cellular level, thus facilitating the exploration of complex biological processes in real time
- Correlative microscopy: To implement and refine correlative microscopy techniques to efficiently integrate data obtained through different fluorescence microscopy modalities, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
