Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry

 

Senior Research Associate

Leila is a laser physicist and electronic engineer by education who has developed an intense passion for Microscopy in her career path. She has defended her thesis in the field of Cell Biology and Cytoskeletal proteins at the University of Amsterdam. She has used Super Resolution microscopy as her major instrument during her PhD and post Doc studies to study from spacial organization of DNA to Muscle cell physiology. Designing and developing image processing tools have been part of her life as a microscopist. Currently, she is research Associate at the Lee Lab, where scientists try to demystify Parkinson disease by cutting edge knowledge and newly emerging microscopy methods. She is writer and poet in her free times and loves Ski, classic dance and Ice-skatig.
