Biography
Dr Caroline Müllenbroich is a Senior Lecturer in Physics at the University of Glasgow, where she leads a research team developing advanced optical microscopy techniques for cardiac imaging, including light-sheet, three-photon, and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. The imaging contributes to projects focusing on studying a rabbit model of myocardial infarction and human engineered heart tissues for regenerative medicine. She studied Physics at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and obtained her PhD from the Institute of Photonics at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, in 2012, focusing on adaptive optics in advanced microscopy. She then joined the European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy (LENS) in Florence, Italy, implementing confocal light-sheet microscopy for structural whole-brain and functional calcium imaging. From 2016, she was a researcher at the Italian National Institute of Optics (CNR-INO) before moving to Glasgow in 2018 to establish her current group.
