Thi Ngoc Nhu Phan is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg, focusing on the development and application of mass spectrometry imaging techniques such as Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), NanoSIMS, and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI). Her research includes the use of super-resolution stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy and electron microscopy for correlative imaging. Dr. Phan's research interests include understanding the structural and functional relationships between biomolecules in neural stem cells and neurons. She leads a research group dedicated to developing novel labeling probes for correlative imaging, enabling high-resolution imaging of multiple target molecules at the micro and nanoscale. Her work addresses critical biological questions including lipid organization in synaptic membranes related to neuronal activity, targeted molecular imaging in the brain, molecular turnover in neuronal cells associated with neurodegeneration, and the dynamics of neural stem cells during stress granule formation. Through her innovative approaches in mass spectrometry imaging, she aims to unravel complex biochemical processes at the cellular level, contributing significantly to the fields of analytical chemistry and neuroscience.
