	Tianyi Ma Research Scientist "The integration of time-lapse fluorescence microscopy and microfluidic devices provides high spatiotempraol resolution that enables us to able to track the dynamics of single cells. I am developing an imaging system and monolayer cultivation chambers within microfluidics devices in order to study the long-term bacterial competition among micro-colonies."

	Faisal Halabeya PhD Student "I study the dynamics of bacterial populations at the single-cell level using timelapse fluorescence microscopy, with a particular interest in behaviour arising from competitive environments and cellular stress. After receiving my undergraduate training at Boston University, I completed my MSc work in the Milstein Lab on the competition of E. coli in dense, confined environments."
	Zaid Alsamman MSc Student "I conduct research using Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) to visualize biomolecules such as DNA and proteins. By employing advanced super-resolution imaging techniques that reveal their precise spatial organization and interactions at the nanoscale, well beyond the diffraction limit, we can gain deeper insight into their biological functions."
