The PRODUCTIVITY of STELLARIS…

Boris Zarda trained as a Microbiologist and has over 30 years of experience in multiple fluorescence microscopy techniques. He has been with Leica Microsystems for 24 years and currently manages their Advanced Workflow Specialist team. The proximity of Boris and his team to real-life science makes them ideally placed to facilitate the development of new technologies. Boris is dedicated to optimizing imaging techniques and workflows and strongly believes in knowledge sharing to improve results.

Jens Peter Gabriel obtained his PhD in Biology (Neurobiology) from the University of Cologne. He continued to work in this field as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg/Germany and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm/Sweden. His main interest were neuronal networks generating behavior, which he studied in zebrafish using methods like electrophysiology, multi-photon calcium imaging, and confocal microscopy. His passion for biological imaging was the reason why Jens joined Leica Microsystems in 2009. As Advanced Workflow Specialist he is now contributing to scientific progress in different ways: by helping researchers identify which microscope system best fits their requirements, and by supporting them through trainings and application advice.

Paul is the Advanced Workflow Manager at Leica Microsystems (UK). The Advanced Workflow Specialist Team specializes in confocal and widefield microscopy and sample preparation techniques specifically for life science research. They cover various disciplines, from live-cell microscopy down to super-resolution and CLEM applications. The team’s proximity to real science means they are ideally placed to facilitate the development of new technologies.
