About
Sebastian Munck is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine of KU Leuven, affiliated with the Department of Neuroscience and the Molecular Neurobiology Research Group at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain Research. He is a member of the KU Leuven Brain Institute (LBI) and the KU Leuven Institute for Single Cell Omics (LISCO), with a focus on neurodegeneration, microscopy, and 3D imaging.
- Active promoter in Flanders BioImaging (2023-2026)
- Co-promoter in cryo-electron microscopy projects for structural biology applications
- Key contributor to bioimaging core facility development and reproducibility standards
His research spans neurodegenerative diseases, calcium channel imaging, and biomedical imaging innovations. Recent collaborations emphasize 3D imaging workflows, exosome biology, and cross-disciplinary technology development. Publications highlight his expertise in integrating light and electron microscopy and spatial multi-omics analysis. While no specific awards are listed, his work has shaped bioimaging infrastructure and disease diagnostics via organoid modeling.
Munck leads initiatives like 3SURE MIND (2022-2026) for super-resolution to cryo-electron microscopy applications in neurodegenerative research and contributes to deep space communication-inspired data analysis frameworks. His lab work includes astrocyte biology, synaptic organelle regulation, and beta-arrestin dynamics in Alzheimer's disease.
