Prof. Jan Ellenberg Professor Ellenberg is renowned for his groundbreaking research in cell biology, particularly in the areas of advanced imaging and the study of cell division. His approach of the so-called 4D dynamic change of molecular structures in living cells, studied in individual, and all the way into cells, embedded in organismal tissues has generated new insight and opened immense technological potential. Dr. Ellenberg has been a group leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) since 1999, the head of the Gene Expression Unit between 2006-2010 and the head of the Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit since 2010. He has been coordinating infrastructure development within EMBL and at the European level. Since July 2024, Dr. Ellenberg has been acting as the Director of SciLifeLab in Sweden, became Professor at Karolinska Institutet and an Affiliated Professor at Stockholm University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. A single (!) representative publication out of the long series of top articles published by Ellenberg and his group highlights the essence of this year’s Lennart Philipson Memorial lecture: Gerlich D, Ellenberg J. 4D imaging to assay complex dynamics in live specimens. Nat Cell Biol. 2003; Suppl: S14-9. Welcome!
