Julia Gala de Pablo, PhD

Lecturer in Biophysical Approaches to Healthcare

Making a difference by developing innovative single-cell biophysical techniques to answer biomedical questions

  • Academic Position

    I am a Lecturer in Biophysical Approaches to Healthcare, using Raman spectroscopy and microfluidic tools to better understand cancer metastasis (July 2024 onwards). I am currently growing my group and open to fun scientific discussion and collaboration.

  • Last Position

    In my previous position, I was a Research Fellow in Genomics and Neuroscience at the University of Leeds in Lukacs Lab, using genetic and flow cytometry tools towards gene discovery in sensory Neuroscience (Jan 2022- June 2024). We made some really exciting discoveries, to be published soon!

  • Postdoctoral experience

    In my previous contract, I worked as a JSPS Research Fellow at the University of Tokyo in Goda Lab, researching on FT-CARS bioapplications to vibrational cell cytometry (2019-2021).

  • Doctoral degree

    I did my PhD in Physics at the University of Leeds in the Molecular and Nanoscale Physics Group on Raman confocal spectroscopy and microspectroscopy for single-cell analysis and Raman-microfluidics integration.

  • Experimental techniques

    During my career, I have extensively used ultrafast microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and microspectroscopy of single-cells and tissue. I also have training on microfluidic devices use and fabrication using soft-lithography (SU8 and PDMS) and working in a clean-room environment. One of my passions is 3D printing prototyping and design.
