Stephan Daetwyler

Stephan Daetwyler is an Instructor at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, USA. His research focuses on developing integrated imaging platforms to study molecular mechanisms in development, regeneration, and diseases like cancer. He holds a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Sciences from ETH Zürich and completed postdoctoral training at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and the labs of Drs. Reto Fiolka and Gaudenz Danuser.

• Education: Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Sciences (ETH Zürich), Postdoc at MPI-CBG and UT Southwestern
• Awards: Early Postdoc Mobility Fellowship (Swiss National Science Foundation)

His work emphasizes smart microscopy technologies, including self-driving microscopes and light-sheet imaging, to study cancer metastasis, vascular development, and cellular dynamics across scales. He has pioneered open-source tools like 'navigate' for light-sheet microscopy and contributed to consensus algorithms for 3D cell segmentation.

Research interests span molecular imaging, cancer biology, and biomedical engineering, with a focus on linking imaging innovations to biological discovery. His projects integrate adaptive optics, optical tiling, and AI-driven microscopy to enable high-resolution, multiscale biological analysis.
