Biography

Dr. Lo Celso's work focuses on the dynamic processes underlying healthy and malignant haematopoiesis, employing an interdisciplinary approach that combines advanced intravital microscopy, computational image analysis, flow cytometry, and mathematical modeling. She has conducted long-term observations of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) cells using confocal microscopy on live mouse calvarium bone marrow. Her research involves T-ALL cells expressing DsRed fluorescent protein that is visible within bone marrow vasculature (visualized with Cy5 dextran, blue) and GFP-expressing osteoblastic cells (green). Dr. Lo Celso also teaches and co-organizes courses such as Stem Cells, Regeneration, and Ageing, contributing her expertise in haematopoietic stem cell biology and providing lectures on stem cell biology, intravital microscopy, and novel therapies involving genes, drugs, and stem cells. Additionally, she supervises undergraduate literature projects and laboratory research within her group at Imperial College London.
