Diana Ordonez Ph.D. Studied microbiology in Bogotá (Colombia) and obtained her PhD studying signaling molecules and mechanisms involved in T cell selection. She worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the ‘Centre d’Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy’ where she acquired a lot of experience in the phenotypic and functional characterization of immune cells by flow cytometry approaches.
In 2015 Diana joined the Flow Cytometry Core Facility at EMBL Heidelberg where she got exposed to “less-conventional” samples (nuclei, zebrafish, drosophila) and made part of collaborations with industrial partners for the early testing of recently developed image-based technologies.
Diana is very excited about the use of Imaging Cell Sorting, and it new capabilities, to identify and isolate cells based on morphological traits and specific subcellular structures.
