Brittany White-Mathieu, an alumna of the Baskin Lab, was the recipient of a Blavatnik Regional Award for Young Scientists for advancing the field of chemical imaging to further our understanding of lipids, and their role in cellular function and disease, including cancer. She has created a revolutionary method, Lipid Expansion Microscopy, that enables super-resolution imaging of lipids within cells using widely available instrumentation. White-Mathieu’s work enables direct study of these compounds in cellular membranes where critical cell signaling events and nutrient exchange occur. White-Mathieu will begin a new faculty position at the University of New Hampshire in late August 2023.
