David Unnersjö
David showed the first ever optical visualization of podocyte foot processes and the slit diaphragm in 2016, and has since then published several papers in high impact journals which describe novel imaging and analysis protocols which have meant a leap forward in the field of kidney imaging.
Hans Blom
Hans Blom is Docent in Biological Physics at KTH (Royal Institute of Technology), and Head of Unit for Integrated Microscopy Technologies at SciLifeLab, Stockholm.
He obtained his M.Sc. in Engineering Physics from Uppsala University, and his Ph.D. in Biophotonics from KTH (in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet) in 2003. After post-doctoral work (including in the Nobel Laureate Stefan W. Hell’s group at the Max-Planck Institute), he has focused on super-resolution microscopy and its applications in cell biology, neuroscience, cancer, and specifically kidney pathology.
His current research aims to include the development of 3D optical imaging of kidney tissue (with nanoscale resolution), improving imaging pipelines for pathological evaluation, collaborations with clinical nephrology, and using microscopy to inform precision medicine.
