Malak Y. El-Quessny

Malak Y. El-Quessny is a Postdoctoral Researcher at ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Spain, supported by the prestigious International Human Frontier Science Program Postdoctoral Fellowship. She is actively affiliated with the Neurophotonics and Mechanical Systems Biology research group, housed in office 305, and can be contacted via email (Malak.Elquessny@icfo.eu) or telephone (+34 935534130).

She holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of California, USA, forming the foundation of her interdisciplinary work.

Her research integrates photonics with neuroscience to develop optical techniques for probing neural activity and mechanical properties of biological systems. This focuses on neurophotonics for neural imaging and mechanical systems biology to study cellular biomechanics, aiming to unravel disease mechanisms and brain function through advanced biophotonic tools.

Her scientific recognition includes:

• International Human Frontier Science Program Postdoctoral Fellowship

Currently funded solely by her fellowship, there is no public information regarding student supervision, additional grants, or collaborative funding initiatives. She operates within ICFO's Neurophotonics and Mechanical Systems Biology group, which pioneers photonic technologies for biological discovery and medical applications.
