Alex T. Kalinka

post-doc

Alex studies the mechanisms of evolution of gene expression during Drosophila embryonic development.

Helena Jambor

post-doc

Helena is interested in understanding the impact of RNA localization on the development of Drosophila ovary.

Tobias Pietszch

post-doc

Tobias has a strong background in computer vision and will apply his skills to segmentation and registration of SPIM recordings of Drosophila embryogenesis.

Stephan Saalfeld

PhD student

Stephan uses approaches from computer vision to reconstruct and analyze massive serial section transmission electron microscopy acquisitions of Drosophila nervous system.
