Post doctoral researcher with the Jungmann lab studying T cell synapses using DNA-PAINT microscopy. MPIB She/Her.
New paper from the Simoncelli lab! It was truly an honour to work with this amazing bunch of researchers. Congratulations to all the authors 🥳
🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 Can we simultaneously achieve deep, high-res, large field-of-view imaging without the usual trade-offs? 🤔 🧬🔬 YES: #DNA_PAINT + Spinning Disk Confocal + Optical Photon Reassignment (#SDC_OPR)! #SuperResolution 📄 nature.com/articles/s4146… @NatureComms 🧵👇
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.
Congrats to my first PhD student, Megan @MDJoseph97, on submitting her thesis today! 🎉 It’s been an absolute honor to supervise you, and I’ve learned so much from your incredible work. Best of luck in your new postdoc – I know you’ll do wonders! 🌟 #ProudSupervisor #NextChapter
An amazing collaboration and congratulations to @ceciliazaza! Check out the preprint of our labs new approach to DNA-PAINT using a spinning disk with optical photon reassingment.

Understanding our body’s T-cells is key to developing new ways to fight diseases! 💪🏻💪🏽💪🏿 This image taken by @ssimoncelli + team shows how T-cell receptors form clusters when they are fighting infection or disease
What a great way to announce my new post doctoral research position with the @JungmannLab by showing off my amazing graduation hat made by my fellow lab members! Thank you all for my wonderful gifts.

Thrilled to share our latest work in @NanoLetters! 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…
Megan Joseph from the Simoncelli group gives the third talk of the annual @UCLChemistry Ramsay Medal Symposium about her work on studying immune cells with super resolution microscopy
#SMLMS2024 was an amazing experience! Incredible science being showcased and a wonderful gala dinner setting. Thanks to all the organisers.



Amazing evening and company at the Sao Juliao da Barra fort #SMLMS2024! @oliviapldalby @MDJoseph97 @ceciliazaza Julie Koziy
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…

Yet another amazing year of Orbyts!
Ending the day with an inspiring talk by @MDJoseph97 on her journey from her own Orbyts project 🪐 to her PhD 🦠! Congratulations on finishing your PhD and hope all these young scientists are more motivated to take up STEM subjects in the future! #OrbytsConference2024
Well done to my first @LIDo_DTP Orbyts fellow @AmilMarc for completing his first Orbyts project! The students clearly found it amazing. Let's hope there are many more LIDo-Orbyts projects to come!
Students from @SpringwestA and @Logic_School sought to tackle the challenge of antibiotic resistance by identifying AMPs with AI models! When asked, students said that plotting the graphs on @GoogleColab was their favourite part! Amazing work! ✨ #OrbytsConference2024
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.
And to end of the day, an inspiring talk by Megan @MDJoseph97 ! Fantastic work today from all the students! You should all be extremely proud of yourselves!✨#OrbytsConference2024
Congratulations, @MDJoseph97, on winning the Ganellin Prize for the best PhD talk in the Chemistry Biology section at UCL! 🔬🧬👩🔬You are such a pro! 😉
Proteins are ~1000x smaller than cells + they help cells carry out their specialized tasks! 🧐 We need better tools to see them in action. 🔬 @ssimoncelli + team are working on building a new microscope that will allow us to study movement of multiple proteins in detail
I feel so honored to have participated in the lymphocyte antigen receptor signalling workshop this year! Some amazing research and such a beautiful place in Sienna. Not just the science but the culture and the history of this conference is incredible.
