Biography

Suliana Manley is a Full Professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. She has been a faculty member since 2009, advancing from Tenure-Track Assistant Professor to Associate Professor and ultimately to Full Professor. Her academic journey began with a Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University in 2004, followed by postdoctoral fellowships at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the National Institutes of Health. Her research focuses on cellular responses to external signals, particularly involving plasma membrane dynamics, protein assembly, and super-resolution imaging techniques. Manley's work has contributed significantly to understanding the mechanisms of membrane-enveloped viruses, including HIV, and the dynamics of cellular activity at the molecular level. Her numerous publications highlight advances in super-resolution microscopy and explore complexities in protein interactions and cellular architecture. Manley has led efforts to apply cutting-edge imaging techniques in live cells to elucidate biological processes with high spatial and temporal resolution. She continues to lead a research group at EPFL, conducting innovative studies in biophysics and cellular biology.
