Eugenia Cammarota
- Senior Bioimage Analyst, National Facility for Data Handling & Analysis
I am senior bioimage analyst with extensive experience in quantitative fluorescence microscopy and advanced data analysis. My job consists in building personalized pipelines with the most advanced and efficient tools to extract quantitative information from microscopy experiments.
After completing a master’s degree in physics at La Sapienza University of Rome I pursued a PhD at the University of Cambridge. During this time, I studied phase transitions on giant plasma membrane vesicles as a tool to investigate lipid composition changes on stimulated macrophages. This project allowed me to apply my physics training to biological problems and consolidated my interdisciplinary expertise.
I then moved to the IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital in Milan for a postdoctoral position, expanding my competencies to include Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy and single-molecule techniques. I subsequently joined the Alembic Imaging Facility at San Raffaele as a microcopy and data analysis expert. This role exposed me to a wide range of projects, I learned how to acquire and analyze super-resolution SMLM data, use FRAP, FLIM, FRET techniques, as well as dimensionality-reduction algorithms and cluster analysis. During this time, I also learned to fully leverage advanced deep learning methods and apply them effectively in projects.
In 2023 I joined Human Technopole as part of the National Facility for Data Handling & Analysis. Here I support researchers all around Italy in their bioimage experiments and I teach image analysis courses.
