Laura Sironi graduated in Physics, with a PhD in Biophysics, and is now Associate Professor of Applied Physics, at the University of Milano Bicocca, Dep. of Physics. LS has a scientific background in advanced spectroscopic methods and in fluorescence techniques combined with linear and nonlinear optical microscopy for biological and medical applications. LS has acquired expertise in time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy (both lifetime and anisotropy decay) in vitro and in vivo (cells), in fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) and resonant energy transfer (FRET) in solutions and in cells.
