Romain Guiet
BioImage Analyst @ EPFL

BIOP: BioImaging & Optics Platform lead by Arne Seitz

Romain has been working at the BIOP since 2011 after a Ph.D. in Biology. He is responsible, along with Olivier Burri and Nicolas Chiaruttini, for the advice and follow up of student projects involving microscopy and quantification within the faculty of Life Sciences at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. His expertise with in vitro cell culture and imaging is also beneficial to help users with their staining strategies and experiments optimization.
