I am a biophysicist developing microscopy methods to study kidney structure in 3D and its perturbations in ageing and disease. I am currently a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Dr. Joshua Vaughan at the University of Washington. My current interests include light-sheet microscopy and its applications in multiplexed 3D imaging of tissues.

During my doctoral work, I developed microscopy platforms using fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) to study molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s. I completed my PhD in the Laser Analytics Group and the Molecular Neurosciences Group at the University of Cambridge where I collaborated with physicists, neuroscientists and biologists to develop microscopy techniques. Before my PhD, I worked in the fields of diabetes and ageing studying metabolic oscillations, cellular signaling, and defects in NADH metabolism through optical microscopy techniques. Over the years, my research has covered a wide range of applications: from amyloid detection to protein-protein binding (FRET screens) to studying chromatin compaction, among others.
