HENRIQUESLAB

Optical Cell Biology research group, also known as HenriquesLab - hosted at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC), University College London (UCL) and Francis Crick Institute (Crick)... We like to think of ourselves as optical cell biologists. We focus on addressing biomedical questions by exploiting advancements we develop in optical microscopy. To do so, we create open-technology that pushes the boundaries of cellular imaging. All our research and methods are transparent, reproducible and widely available to researchers. In biology, we tackle broad virology, host-pathogen interactions, immunology and cell signalling questions. We do so by establishing new classes of fluorescent probes, high-speed cell-friendly super-resolution methods and computational modelling approaches that, although designed to answer questions of interest in the lab, have extensive cross-disciplinary applications.
