Each year, the Thomas F. Deutsch Fellowship in Biomedical Optics, in partnership with The Wellman Center, provides a one-year multidisciplinary fellowship specifically fostering interactions between researchers from diverse fields of science and medicine to support post-doctoral investigators pursuing training in either basic or clinical research.
"Dr. Seeger transmitted a passion for his work that struck me as special," said Judith Birkenfeld, Instituto de Óptica Daza de Valdés and Selection Committee Member. His application showed him as a hard worker, innovative thinker and considerate team worker. I am looking forward to seeing the impact that the Thomas F. Deutsch Fellowship will have on his career."
Seeger seeks to develop novel photoacoustic microscopy technology for structural, functional, molecular, and metabolic interrogations. He aims to achieve direct and comprehensive access to the dynamic (micro) environment of living specimens, with both high speed and resolution, to advance biomicroscopy in biological and biomedical research. He will be working with Seemantini Nadkarni and Brett Bouma, Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, USA.
Seeger received his Doctorate from the Chair of Biological Imaging, Technical University Munich, and the Institute of Biological and Medical Imaging, Helmholtz Center Munich, and will begin his fellowship in Boston in mid-January 2021.
