Lorenzo Albertazzi is Associate Professor at Eindhoven University, The Netherlands, within the department of Biomedical Engineering. He obtained a MSc in Chemistry (2007) and a PhD in Biophysics (2011) from Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa, Italy). He then joined Eindhoven University of Technology as postdoctoral researcher and in 2014 he became a NWO/VENI fellow. In 2015, he moved to Barcelona (Spain) to the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) to start the 'Nanoscopy for Nanomedicine' group. Since 2018 he is associate professor at TU/e leading the research group Nanoscopy for Nanomedicine.

Peter Zijlstra is an Associate Professor at Eindhoven University, The Netherlands, in the research group Molecular Biosensing within the department of Applied Physics. He studied Applied Physics at the University of Twente (Enschede, The Netherlands), where he obtained his MSc degree in 2005. In 2009, he received his PhD from Swinburne University of Technology (Melbourne, Australia), where he studied the photothermal properties of single plasmonic nanoparticles with applications in optical data storage. After a postdoctoral fellowship in the lab of Prof. Michel Orrit at Leiden University (The Netherlands) he moved to Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e, The Netherlands). He is a core member of the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems at TU/e, wherein groups from different disciplines (chemistry, physics, biomedical engineering, mathematics) collaborate on multidisciplinary research topics.
