Biography

Dr. Lo Celso's work focuses on the dynamic processes underlying healthy and malignant haematopoiesis, using an interdisciplinary approach that combines advanced intravital microscopy, computational image analysis, flow cytometry, and mathematical modeling. Research includes the observation of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) cells using long time-lapse confocal microscopy in live mouse calvarium bone marrow. T-ALL cells express DsRed fluorescent protein, visible in bone marrow vasculature when using cy5 dextran and in GFP-expressing osteoblastic cells. Dr. Lo Celso is also involved in teaching and coordinates courses on stem cells, regeneration, and aging for third-year Biochemistry and Biology degrees, and provides lectures on stem cell biology and intravital microscopy for MSc programs. She has experience supervising literature and laboratory projects within her group, and previously guest lectured on regenerative medicine at Queen Mary University.
