Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDora Mahecic is a physicist-turned-imaging specialist with nine years of experience building advanced microscopy tools to probe biological systems, currently a Research Associate at Harvard Medical School. Her trajectory from a PhD and research roles at EPFL to postdoctoral and research positions at Harvard reflects deep expertise in quantitative optics and biological imaging. She pairs rigorous academic training with practical instrument development, often bridging physics, biocomputing, and wet-lab needs to deliver reproducible experimental platforms. Having completed management coursework at Harvard Business School Online, she also brings project and team-readiness to translational research settings. Colleagues describe her as someone who sees both the microscopic details and the larger experimental pipeline, enabling experiments that answer biological questions rather than just producing prettier images.
