Led by EPFL’s Prof. Suliana Manley, the Laboratory of Experimental Biophysics (LEB) is a world leader in microscopy and cellular biophysics research. The mission of the LEB is to train the next generation of biophysicists, and to perform cutting-edge research. We develop microscopes that enable gentler live cell imaging, and use them to study mitochondria – a key organelle in metabolism, health, and disease. We are launching a 6-year European-funded (ERC Synergy) project, with collaborating partners at the University of Bern and the MPI Heidelberg to study the interactions between mitochondria and partner organelles.
The LEB team consists of around 10 PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, and two technical staff. We carry out research and teaching, and travel to conferences to engage with the research community. Within our ERC collaboration, we anticipate organizing scientific visits, team-building events, and joint meetings and seminars. We recognize administrative and communication support as essential elements for our success as a team. We look forward to welcoming a new administrative specialist who will support our internal operations as well as our collaborative project.
