Professor Guillermina Ramirez-San Juan, currently Assistant Professor at Brandeis University, USA has been appointed as Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Physics starting from August 1, 2022.
Guillermina Ramirez-San Juan considers questions relating to the fundamental mechanisms affecting how cilia function – an area in which little research has been conducted so far. In her unique skill set, she is able to combine aspects of cell biomechanics and the use of model organisms with expertise in chemical biology and whole tissue imaging. Her research interests thus go beyond traditional biophysics to include the fields of materials science, mechanics and robotics. Guillermina Ramirez-San Juan will forge close links between the EPFL Center for Imaging and the Dubochet Center for Imaging (DCI).
