Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimothée Lionnet is an associate professor and biophysicist with 13 years of experience developing novel fluorescence imaging technologies to reveal how genes are turned on and off at the single-molecule level. He leads interdisciplinary teams at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and previously at Janelia, where he directed the Transcription Imaging Consortium to build advanced microscopes, labeling reagents, and stochastic models of gene expression. Trained in physics and biophysics (École normale supérieure and UPMC), he blends quantitative theory, Matlab-driven image analysis, and hands-on instrument engineering to push live-cell and in vivo imaging boundaries. His lab’s codebase reflects a practical focus on custom Matlab tools that enable cutting-edge single-molecule experiments, underscoring an emphasis on reproducible, method-driven science.
