Hannah Heil

Hannah Heil is an Associate researcher and Affiliated researcher at Lund University's Faculty of Medicine, working within the Quantitative Immunobiology research group and Infect@LU. Her institutional email address hannah.heil@med.lu.se confirms her affiliation with the medical faculty at Lund University.

Dr. Heil's research focuses on advanced microscopy techniques with particular expertise in super-resolution microscopy and nanoscale imaging. Her work bridges molecular biology, immunology, and computational methods to study biological systems at unprecedented resolution. Key areas of interest include:

• Super-Resolution Microscopy development and applications
• Nanoscale molecular profiling of cells and tissues
• Data-driven approaches to microscopy powered by machine learning
• Immunobiology and infection mechanisms
• DNA methylation and epigenetic studies
• Nerve structure analysis in health and disease

Her recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating computational methods with advanced microscopy techniques. Work on expansion and fluctuations-enhanced microscopy represents cutting-edge approaches to achieve nanoscale resolution in biological imaging. She has made significant contributions to data-driven microscopy, particularly in reducing phototoxicity while maintaining image quality for live-cell imaging. Her research spans from fundamental method development to clinical applications, such as studying nerve structure in polyneuropathy patients.

Dr. Heil is actively involved in research funding as a researcher on the InfPathMapper project funded by the European Commission's Horizon Europe program (2025-2027), which focuses on mapping molecular mechanisms of infection using smart microscopy techniques. The project has received significant attention with mentions in 4 news outlets, blog coverage, and substantial social media engagement.
