Garcia combines light-sheet and single-molecule fluorescence imaging with quantitative modeling to measure transcriptional dynamics in living Drosophila embryos in real time, quantifying how individual promoters and enhancers make fast, precise decisions during development. The group is actively recruiting postdocs interested in physical biology and quantitative live imaging.
Gregor's Laboratory for the Physics of Life builds custom quantitative microscopes (single-objective oblique-plane light-sheet, multicolor live-imaging, single-molecule transcription imaging) to make precision, physics-style measurements of gene expression, morphogen gradients, and chromatin dynamics in living Drosophila embryos and mammalian gastruloids. He is actively recruiting PhD students and postdocs with expertise in super-resolution imaging, nonlinear/ultrafast optics, and instrumentation development.
Pantazis directs the Leica Imaging Hub at Imperial and develops advanced live-imaging tools (including novel fluorescent probes and light microscopy methods) to capture the dynamics of embryonic development and disease processes in real time.
