High content screening reveals the phenotypic landscape of intestinal organoid regeneration

Ilya Lukonin, PhD, High Content Screening and Automation expert, Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, Basel, Switzerland

Ilya was born and grew up in Tallinn, Estonia. He received his Bachelor and Master degrees in Biochemistry from the Freie Universität Berlin (Germany).  Driven by his interest for imaging and multivariate data analysis, he joined the lab of Prisca Liberali at the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel, Switzerland for a PhD project where he investigated the molecular mechanisms that underlie the development of intestinal organoids by means of high content screening. Currently he is responsible for supporting HCS projects at the institute and developing novel workflows for automated culture and imaging of complicated 3D model systems.
