The European Research Council has awarded an ERC Advanced Grant to Sjoerd Stallinga. The European grant enables internationally established research leaders to conduct a five-year research project. 

Sjoerd Stallinga โ€“ NANOCUBIC โ€“ The big picture at the finest scale

Making super detailed 3D images of proteins in living cells with a special light microscope, without damaging those cells. Thatโ€™s what Sjoerd Stallinga wants to achieve with the ERC Advanced grant. In order to do so, heโ€™s going to scan samples with nanometer precision using a sophisticated 3D light pattern, and calculate the complex image information back to the protein structure with the computer. An approach that requires lots of collaboration between different disciplines.
