معرفی
Hylkje Geertsema is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Netherlands. Her research focuses on quantitative super-resolution microscopy to study DNA replication proteins in human cells, bridging biophysics and molecular biology.
- PhD in Single-Molecule Fluorescence Studies (Harvard Medical School, 2010-2014; Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, 2014)
- Postdoctoral Research on DNA-PAINT Super-resolution Microscopy (Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany)
Her work emphasizes advancing imaging techniques for eukaryotic cell nuclear structures and protein complex dynamics. She teaches courses including Laboratory Practicums, Biofysics Techniques, and CSBB (Cell Systems Biology Basics) at TU Delft. Her research leverages oligonucleotide labels and optical resolution to explore single-molecule behaviors.
Recent publications highlight collaborations across international institutions, focusing on high-throughput imaging methods and spatial resolution optimization. Co-authors on her 2025 ACS Nano paper include Klarinda de Zwaan, Ran Huo, and Kristin Grußmayer.
