Farewell Alan and Lucho – best luck in Munich!

Dr. Luciano (Lucho) Masullo and Dr. Alan Szalai leave the group after several years of very productive work.

Goodbye beer – 24.09.2021

Lucho joined our group in 2014 as an undergraduate student, and stayed with us for almost 7 years! During that time, he worked on STORM, developed pulsed-interleaved MINLFUX and RASTMIN. Next, he will go for a postdoc at the group of Prof. Dr. Ralf Jungmann at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich.

Alan joined our group as a postdoc in 2018. He has contributed to numerous projects of super-resolution imaging, where the development of SIMPLER 3D TIRF SMLM and STED-FRET outstand. Alan was awarded a Humboldt Fellowship for a postdoc stay at the group of Prof. Dr. Philip Tinnefeld at the LMU Munich.
