Gaudenz Danuser, Ph.D.
Gaudenz Danuser was trained at ETH Zurich in Geodetic Engineering (Diploma), and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Ph.D.). He did his postdoctoral training in Woods Hole at the MBL, where he immersed himself into research in live cell imaging and cellular mechanics. Before being recruited to UTSW as a CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research and Patrick E. Haggerty Distinguished Chair in Basic Biomedical Science he held faculty positions at ETH Zurich (Mechanical Engineering), The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA (Cell Biology), and Harvard Medical School, Boston (Cell Biology). Since fall 2015 he has been the inaugural chair of the Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics. In the lab his role is centered on supporting everyone’s science and career ambitions and on maintaining good relationships with funding agencies. Gaudenz is from Switzerland. He is passionate about music and art. He also enjoys outdoors activities like hiking, running, and skiing.
Jungsik Noh, Ph.D.
Jungsik Noh’s research specializes in analysis of live cell time series microscopic images. He is developing and applying stochastic models and statistical methods to infer causal relations between the molecular signals to better understand underlying biological interactions. Originally trained as a statistician, Dr. Noh published a machine-learning based pipeline in 2021 to estimate numbers of COVID-19 infected populations worldwide; focusing on those that are under-ascertained and therefore unknown. Currently, he collaborates with multiple PIs on research projects on image and time series analysis. He is actively recruiting in the area of causal inference. Jungsik is from Korea and when not in the lab he enjoys watching movies.
Tadamoto Isogai, Ph.D.
Tadamoto Isogai was born and raised in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He received his M.Sc. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Leiden University and his Ph.D. in Cell Biology from the Netherlands Cancer Institute under the supervision of Dr. Metello Innocenti. He joined the Danuser lab in 2016 and is interested in molecular signal amplifications within cellular organelles in 3D microenvironments. In his free time, Tada enjoys his family and playing with his children.
