Dr. Swedlow is a co-creator of the Open Microscopy Environment, an important tool for light microscopists used for management of digital image data. Dr. Swedlow received a BA in Chemistry from Brandeis University in Waltham, MA in 1982. He then earned a PhD in Biophysics from UCSF in 1994, under the direction of Dr. David Agard and Dr. John Sedat. Dr. Swedlow was post-doctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Tim Mitchison at USCF and Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Swedlow shares his vast knowledge of light microscopy with students at the Analytical and Quantitative Light Microscopy Course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA and the Immunocytochemistry, In Situ Hybridization and Live Cell Imaging course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in NY.
Dr. Swedlow's research focuses on mechanisms and regulation of chromosome segregration during mitotic cell division. His laboratory has published research articles in important scientific journals such as Science and Cell.
