Elvis Pandzic

Dr. Elvis Pandzic is a Senior Lecturer and Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy Specialist at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), affiliated with the School of Biomedical Engineering. He operates within the Katharina Gaus Light Microscopy Facility at UNSW's Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre. With over 15 years of programming experience in MATLAB, Dr. Pandzic applies his expertise in cellular and molecular biophysics to develop tailored image analysis approaches for biomedical research.

• PhD in Biological Physics (2013) from McGill University, Canada

His research focuses on advanced image analysis techniques, particularly Image Correlation Spectroscopy, which quantifies sub-cellular structures and protein dynamics in live cells. He also has extensive experience in single-molecule approaches such as dSTORM, PALM, and sptPALM acquired during two years of post-doctoral work. His methodologies help quantify protein density, oligomerization, co-localization, and dynamics.

Dr. Pandzic's recent publications demonstrate his specialization in analyzing molecular dynamics in cellular environments, particularly focusing on membrane protein confinement, cytoskeletal organization, and cell signaling mechanisms. His work covers topics like CFTR clustering in cystic fibrosis, aquaporin dynamics, and actomyosin-dependent spatial patterns.

At the Katharina Gaus Light Microscopy Facility, he provides expert support for researchers requiring advanced fluorescence microscopy and image analysis. His current work involves adapting methodologies to address biomedical problems for both UNSW and international research communities.
