The expansion microscopy user group brings together researchers to share experiences to enable rapid uptake of the technology.
At this meeting... We will be joined by Tayla Shakespeare who will present her talk 'Nanoscale mapping of EGFR sorting domains using calibrated 3D expansion microscopy'. In this webinar, she will present her work on developing a calibrated expansion microscopy methodology to map EGFR sorting domains in endosomes at nanometre resolution, enabling quantitative imaging of receptor trafficking dynamics
Tayla is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the AI-driven Optical Biology Lab led by Ricardo Henriques at ITQB NOVA in Lisbon. She completed her PhD at the University of Sheffield in 2025, where she worked in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology with the Applied Biophotonics Group under the supervision of Dr Izy Jayasinghe. Her doctoral thesis, Nanoscale calibration of expansion microscopy to resolve the dynamics of endosome nanodomains in EGFR trafficking, focused on developing quantitative frameworks to visualize molecular-scale structures in subcellular organelles using calibrated expansion microscopy. Her current research focuses on developing AI tools that improve the accessibility and usability of deep-learning bioimage analysis networks.
