A/Prof Alex de Marco
Principal Investigator

I obtained my PhD at EMBL (Heidelberg, Germany), where my work focused on the development of image processing methods to enhance the resolution of cryo-electron tomography. After I moved to FEI Company where I was responsible for the development of Correlative microscopy hardware and software solutions.

Since 2016 I returned to academic research to develop new technologies and methods to aid molecular imaging.
