A week ago we installed the new 2P-laser #Insight X3 by @spectraphysics.bsky.social
This laser is now the new heart of our #DIVER microscope.
Expanding our opportunity for spectroscopy #690-1300 #WavelengthMixing #FLIM #CARS #Pump_Probe
We are very excited!!!

Many thanks #AntonioCostaFilho for the kind invitation to participate in the pre-meeting #SBBf course “Phase separation at membrane interphases: Biomolecular condensates in Actions”. Happy share session with #RumianaDimova #Condensates #LLPS #Bioimaging #Phasors #DANprobes

Extremely excited to share quite an achievement for our group. Two years ago, we started #PhasorPy (www.phasorpy.org, now in our v0.8). In parallel, Bruno Pannunzio, in collaboration with Marcelo Zoccoller, led the hashtag#Napari_Phasors plugin v0.1 for FLIM & HSI phasor analysis.

Extremely honored to be included in 2026 #ThePhotonics100 #Electrooptics for “the innovators, the boundary-pushers, the disruptors, the out-of-the-box thinkers and the R&D ‘rock stars’” driving the industry forward.
Happy to represent Uruguay & Latin America

Part of the team #UBA #LeconteLudovic #Marceladiaz and good friend #RamiroTomasina ready to go to #WeberSymposium2025 #Genova 🇮🇹
#Garcia__Majo already in Genoa
I am excited to be accompanied by a great team this time! 🇺🇾

Muktar is now our ambassador in Nigeria, sharing the power of HSI-Phasors for basic biomedical problems. His impact on our group has been significant, and while we'll miss him, I believe this is just the start of a strong bond between our groups 🇺🇾🔬🇳🇬
See you soon Muktar! Safe travels

Today we are saying goodbye to a fantastic visitor we host in the past 3 months Muktar Lawan from 🇳🇬 BioRTC
He has learned #HSI & #Phasors for studying neurodegeneration in African ancients cell lines
Thanks @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social @focalplane.bsky.social Mahmoud Maina for support & trust

Wonderful week full of learning and camaraderie. Thanks to all the participants, professors, and companies/funders who made #CFMO2025 a success!
Congratulations Marcela Diaz Paola Lepanto for another great course

Great talk by Bruno Pannunzio today at #15_OMI4Bio2025 course about #Phasor properties for #FLIM analysis
@ALM_i3S @PhasorPy @advanced_unit
April 1, 2025 at 9:37 PM
Today #15_OMI4Bio2025 course at @ALM_i3S started with #FLIM and #Phasors introduction. This course is also part of the @RI_Hubs_EULAC consortium supported by EULAC group of interest.

After 3-weeks of intense training at #UBA, #MuktarLawan from #BioRTCNig is now able to handle cell culture 🧫 and fundamentals of optical microscopy 🔬 on his own. He is ready to move on to the next level, #HSI 🌈 and #Phasor 💻, to study nuclear dynamics in health/disease

Still overwhelmed from an amazing session at #BPS2025! Huge thanks to @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social and @BWFUND for including me in this year's #TheFutureofBiophysics Burrough Wellcome Fund Symposium. Congrats to my fellow colleagues—what an honor to share this experience!
February 18, 2025 at 6:18 AM
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our poster today at #BPS2025. We hope they engage with us to advance phasorpy for phasor analysis of HSI and FLIM. More information can be found on our website.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Wishing a wonderful day to all our colleagues and friends around the world, especially to our fantastic team of women at the UBA. They play a crucial role in our mission through training, service, development, and research in bioimaging.
