Marie Walde

Scientific interests

Imaging scientist studying symbiosis in marine plankton with automated 3D fluorescence microscopy and machine learning-supported image analysis.


Background in biophysics, biomedical imaging and superresolution microscopy.


I develop and apply state-of-the-art microscopy methods to study biological systems at the cellular to molecular scale. Passionate about interdisciplinary science, scientific communication and public outreach.
