Automated Image Analysis in ZEN blue

Introduction of the new Module BioApps

Dr. Marion Lang

Dr. Marion Lang obtained her PhD in physics from the University of Heidelberg in 2007 for her work on high-resolution microscopy which she conducted at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). After university, she started as application specialist at Olympus for high-content screening and obtained further in-depth knowledge in image processing and analysis. Before joining ZEISS in 2017, she lived in China for three years, where she worked as a Senior Researcher at the Laser Institute of the Beijing University of Technology with focus on applications of lasers in Biophotonics. Three years ago, Marion Lang joined ZEISS as product manager, with main responsibility for image processing, image analysis and open application development (OAD).
