EMBL Australia Group Leader, Cell Motility and Mechanobiology Lab, UNSW Sydney
Dr. Maté Biro received his PhD at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Germany in 2011. He previously studied Physics (BSc) and then Bioinformatics and Theoretical Systems Biology (MSc) at the Imperial College in London, UK, and did his Masters research at MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA. He has worked at a particle accelerator in Tsukuba, Japan and as a Research Associate at the Bioinformatics Institute of the A*STAR in Singapore. In 2012, he moved to Sydney, Australia, first working at the University of Sydney, before joining EMBL Australia as a group leader at the Single Molecule Science node at UNSW in January 2016. His research, highly multidisciplinary in nature and reliant on advanced light microscopy, focuses on the movements and interactions of T cells and tumour cells.
