Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikita Vladimirov is an imaging scientist and platform manager with 11 years of experience building and programming advanced fluorescence and light-sheet microscopes, currently leading development of the open-source mesoSPIM project and managing the Microscopy Innovation Platform at the University of Zurich. He combines a PhD in computational biology with hands-on expertise in optics, image processing, adaptive optics, and neuroscience to design instruments that scale from behaving zebrafish to large cleared samples. His prior roles include pioneering prototype light-sheet systems at the Max Delbrück Center and a Nature Methods–featured microscope at HHMI, reflecting a track record of translating cutting-edge research into robust hardware and software. Equally comfortable in code, machining, and electronics, he brings a rare full-stack experimental skill set that accelerates reproducible imaging workflows.
