I'm a microscopist | I like everything from fluorescent sensors to custom microscope hardware | I also do my best to garden in a Bay Area apartment
- I've spent many afternoons crouched over a microscope with a pipette, waiting for the exact right moment to add my perturbation (& not breathing so I don't bump anything). Now I can just program it in and have a more relaxing experiment :)
- I'm excited to be hiring an intern to develop new fluorescence-based assays for alpha synuclein aggregation at Calico during summer 2026 😃 🔬 If you're a current PhD student who loves microscopy, unnatural amino acids, and/or synuclein biophysics, please apply! www.calicolabs.com/careers/?gh_...
- The official deadline is February 1, 2026, but we'll start reading applications as they come in. To be eligible, you must be currently enrolled in a PhD program at a US university (sorry, awesome international microscopists).
- Want to measure protein-protein interactions? We recently did some dreaming about how you can do this with a single fluorescent tag using molecular "tumbling." We simulated how you'd do this on a lightsheet, a flow cytometer, or a cheap handheld device. We even took prelim data on a commercial rig:
