In this talk, I will present our recent advances in 3D single-molecule tracking of dynamics and super-resolution imaging of nanoscale structures throughout mammalian cells, and showcase applications of our approaches for cellular imaging. I will describe our developments of light sheet microscopy platforms that reduce fluorescence background, photobleaching, and the risk of photodamaging sensitive samples. Combined with point spread function (PSF) engineering for nanoscale localization of individual molecules in 3D, deep learning for analysis of overlapping emitters, and a novel 3D nanoprinted microfluidic chip for environmental control, these platforms enable whole-cell multi-target 3D single-molecule super-resolution imaging with improved accuracy, precision, and imaging speed. I will also highlight our recent developments and applications of dCas9-based labels that enable flexible, long-term tracking of endogenous, non-repetitive genomic loci in live human cells with excellent spatiotemporal resolution. Using this approach, we demonstrate correlative tracking of gene dynamics and transcription for improved understanding of gene regulation. I will further showcase studies of disease mechanisms and novel therapies for the premature aging disorder Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome. Together, these imaging technologies provide a versatile toolkit for quantitative studies of molecular dynamics, nanoscale structures, and molecular mechanisms, enabling new insights into a broad range of chemical, biological, and biomedical questions related to cellular function and pathogenesis.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio: </strong>Dr. Gustavsson joined the faculty at Rice University in 2020 as a CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research and the Norman Hackerman-Welch Young Investigator Chair. At Rice, she founded and serves as Director of the Center for Nanoscale Imaging Sciences. Her research group strives to gain detailed information about cellular nanoscale structures, dynamics, and molecular mechanisms by designing and applying innovative and versatile optical imaging tools. Dr. Gustavsson received her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Her graduate work focused on studying rhythms and dynamic responses in single cells by combining and optimizing techniques such as fluorescence microscopy, optical tweezers, and microfluidics. Upon completion of her graduate work, Dr. Gustavsson joined the group of Nobel Laureate W. E. Moerner at Stanford University as a Postdoctoral Fellow. Her research focused on the development and application of 3D single-molecule super-resolution microscopy for cellular imaging and included the implementation of light sheet illumination for optical sectioning of mammalian cells. Her work has been recognized with multiple honors, awards, and fellowships, most notably the FEBS Journal Richard Perham Prize, the 3-year Swedish Research Council International Postdoctoral Fellowship, the PicoQuant Young Investigator Award, the NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award, the CPRIT Recruitment of First-Time Tenure-Track Faculty Members Award, the Scialog: Advancing Bioimaging Fellowship, the Edward S. and Fofo Lewis Chemistry Research Award, the NIH Maximizing Investigators' Research Award (MIRA), and the NSF CAREER Award.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>The seminar is followed by an aperitif. </strong>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-13T13:52:19", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-22T10:54:26", "link_label": "Registration", "link_url": "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSepcadZ0LZTP-BpVwOnH2ljz6z4CtAFbXxIkfEL0Mpio-vrqQ/viewform?usp=header", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BM 5202", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BM%205202", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Anna-Karin Gustavsson", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://imaging.epfl.ch/\">Center for Imaging</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/cecilia.carron\">Cecilia Carron</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120768/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/284/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71882, "title": "Image Analysis Clinics in Neuchâtel", "slug": "image-analysis-clinics-in-neuchatel", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/image-analysis-clinics-in-neuchatel", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33229/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33229/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33229/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-02", "end_date": "2026-06-02", "start_time": "10:00:00", "end_time": "16:00:00", "description": "<strong>Do you need personalized support and advice on any imaging challenges?</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>What are the Imaging Clinics? </strong><br>\r\nA team of imaging experts from the EPFL Center for Imaging visits EPFL's satellite campuses to offer personalized support and advice on any imaging challenges local researchers might be facing.

The study of these systems has proven extraordinarily fruitful for biotechnology: CRISPR-Cas9, originally discovered as a bacterial defense mechanism, has revolutionized genome editing and demonstrated the transformative potential of mining bacterial immunity for molecular tools.<br>\r\nYet the diversity of bacterial defense extends far beyond CRISPR. Bacteria have evolved numerous strategies to recognize and destroy foreign DNA, many of which remain poorly understood at the mechanistic level. A central question is how these systems distinguish self from non-self — and how the underlying molecular logic of DNA targeting is encoded in protein structure and biochemistry. We combine cryo-electron microscopy, quantitative biochemistry, and in vivo genomics to characterize newly discovered defense systems and dissect their targeting mechanisms. This work is revealing unexpected principles of foreign DNA recognition, with implications both for our understanding of bacterial immunity and for the development of next-generation biotechnological tools for genome editing and beyond.</p>", "image_description": "Bravo", "creation_date": "2026-05-18T10:59:28", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-18T10:59:28", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Jack Bravo, Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA)", "organizer": "Melanie Blokesch", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120785/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/53/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71898, "title": "Assistive Technology Challenge Prototype Showcase", "slug": "assistive-technology-challenge-prototype-showcase", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/assistive-technology-challenge-prototype-showcase", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33216/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33216/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33216/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-28", "end_date": "2026-05-28", "start_time": "12:30:00", "end_time": "14:30:00", "description": "<p>The ATC (Assistive Technology Challenge : <a href=\"https://make.epfl.ch/projects/56/make-epfl-assistive-technologies-challenge-56\">EPFL Assistive Techn... - Project - MAKE</a>) welcomes you to discover this year's six prototypes designed by the students' teams !
