Short CV

Dr. Peckys earned her PhD in the neurosciences (1998), and worked for several years as requirements engineer for a global healthcare provider in the Netherlands. In 2006, she set out to develop liquid-phase electron microscopy in close collaboration with Prof. Niels de Jonge in the US, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and at Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN). Her focus was on biomedical application of the new technology, besides working in nano(bio)-technology. She continued her pioneering work in the Innovative Electron Microscopy group at the INM, Leibniz Institute for New Materials (Saarbrücken, Germany) from 2012 to 2015, and in the Molecular Biophysics groups at Saarland University (Homburg, Germany) from 2016 onward. Dr. Peckys has a worldwide unique expertise in the technology and application of liquid-phase electron microscopy. She conducts research projects in the life sciences, in particular, in cancer research, and in research on calcium channels and biofilms (within the context of the SBF1027).
