Hello!

I am an EMBO postdoctoral research fellow in the labs of Dr. George M. Church and Dr. Chao-ting Wu at Harvard Medical School and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. My research is centered around developing tools for quantitative super-resolution microscopy and I am currently working on enhancing single-molecule sensitivity for sub-cellular imaging with a special interest on nuclear targets. Here, I am particularly excited to be contributing to interdisciplinary and inter-institutional NIH consortia such as the Center for Genome Imaging and the 4DN Nucleome Program, with the overarching goals of studying nuclear architecture at the nanoscale and how our genomes are orchestrated in space and time.

Previously, I studied Physics at Ludwig Maximilian University Munich (DE), Universidad Complutense de Madrid (ES) and University College London (UK) and then did my PhD with Dr. Petra Schwille at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry close to Munich (DE). Here, I also worked in close collaboration with Dr. Ralf Jungmann on advancing the super-resolution microscopy approach DNA-PAINT regarding both hardware and implementation.

On this page you will find my full CV; see Google Scholar for my publications list and follow me on Twitter for research updates.

Thank you for visiting,

Johannes Stein
