I am an imaging and microscopy assistant in the facility and, I am in charge of the hardware development of the Mesoscope system, which consists on the physical merge of an Optical Projection Tomography system and Light Sheet Microscope system. Additionally, I also provide assistance for the workstation management and am a speaker on internal imaging courses.

I am in charge of managing the imaging equipment and provide support to users in the microscopes, in experimental design & sample preparation protocols, and in support in image analysis. I also organize internal and international workshops. My research area is on cell & developmental biology.

Paula Sampaio graduated in Biochemistry and has a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Porto. She is a former visiting researcher in Cayetano Gonzalez's group at EMBL and former post-doctoral fellow at IBMC Molecular Genetics group headed by Prof. Claudio Sunkel where she studied the mechanisms of cell division. Presently, is the coordinator of the Advanced Light Microscopy scientific platform at i3S and national coordinator of the PPBI - Portuguese Platform of BioImaging, a national research infrastructure of strategic interest. At University of Porto, Paula Sampaio is invited Assistant Professor at Sciences Faculty and external professor at ICBAS teaching bio-imaging on Master courses and PhD. programs. She is also the organizer of the course series on Optical Microscopy Imaging for Biosciences and co-organizer of the EMBO course in Biomolecular Interaction Analysis. Paula Sampaio is member of management committees of COST actions Network of European BioImage Analysts (CA15124) and the COMULIS - Correlated Multimodal Imaging in Life Sciences (CA17121) and delegate of Portugal at Euro-Bioimaging ESFRI project.

He is a Research Associate at the Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde (i3S) in Porto, Portugal. He is currently interested in coherence-polarization coupling, super-resolution and optical sectioning methods, always with a pragmatic orientation towards their effective use by bio-scientists. 

Telmo Pereira has learned and developed skills on bioimage analysis, computer vision, microscopy and optics, systems biology and drosophila genetics. In 2015 started working as a Microscopy Facility technician at CEDOC and in 2019 got the position as Facility Head. Currently he's focused on developing bioimage analysis methods on microscopy image quantification and also medical imaging analysis mainly on Retina OCT imaging. He is also the author in 11 peer-reviewed papers with around 350 citations and H-index of 7 (Web of Science). He has supervised 1 Master student and currently supervises a PhD student and a Master student. He has also been active in science outreach (e.g. institute open days), and organizing international (SPAOM2018 and CTLS2021) scientific meetings.
