PicoQuant
Maria Loidolt-Krüger, Ph.D., studied biophysics at the Technical University Kaiserslautern. During an exchange year at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, she dived into molecular disease diagnostics. She then worked on her diploma and doctorate thesis in the group of Prof. Stefan W. Hell at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen.
During her thesis, she developed multicolor STED microscopy and the corresponding live cell staining protocol. While pursuing her doctorate, Loidolt-Krüger studied the feasibility of performing STED microscopy of FRET pairs. In 2018 she joined PicoQuant as an application specialist for time-resolved fluorescence microscopes. In 2022, she changed roles and is now scientific content creator at PicoQuant, responsible for all product lines for life and materials science.
