Judith completed her PhD in biomedical engineering in 2020 from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, in affiliation with Stony Brook University. Her thesis was titled “Nanoscale Synapse Imaging and Whole Brain Neuronal Tracing with Super Resolution Oblique Light Sheet Microscopy”. Before her graduate work, Judith completed her bachelor degree in astrophysics and mathematics at the University of Minnesota.
Judith is currently a post-doctoral scientist in the Osten lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Her current work focuses on the development and improvement of imaging tools for the examination of neuronal projections and volumetric imaging of synapses. Judith’s Research Interests include innovations in High Resolution Optical Nanoscopy, the physics, imaging, and emission spectra of Proto-planetary Nebulae, the MRI and fMRI applications to maintaining viability of islet cell implant grafts non-invasively, and the study of neutrino oscillation and detection.
In her spare time, Judith plays six instruments and enjoys singing, dancing, and painting. She is actively involved in science outreach through CSHLWise https://you.stonybrook.edu/mizrachi/wise-cshl/ as well as the Fun with DNA Camp http://cshlwise.org/events/wise-dnalc-fun-with-dna-camp/ , and leads CSHL’s Speak to be Heard Seminars teaching effective science communication http://cshlwise.org/events/speak-to-be-heard-workshop-with-judy-mizrachi/
