About

Nathalie Gaudreault is a leading figure in stem cell biology and advanced microscopy, whose work is revolutionizing the automation of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) culture. Her primary research focuses on developing high-throughput, reproducible methods for preparing live-cell samples, enabling unprecedented 3D imaging of cellular dynamics. Gaudreault’s most-cited paper, "Automated human induced pluripotent stem cell culture and sample preparation for 3D live-cell microscopy" (2023, 17 citations), introduces a groundbreaking platform that integrates robotic handling with microfluidic systems, significantly reducing variability in stem cell maintenance and imaging. This innovation has profound implications for disease modeling and drug screening, as it allows researchers to observe real-time cellular behaviors in physiologically relevant environments. Gaudreault’s work bridges the gap between automation and biological complexity, earning her recognition as a pioneer in scalable stem cell technologies. Her contributions are not only advancing fundamental understanding of pluripotency and differentiation but also accelerating translational research, making her a vital resource for students and scientists seeking to integrate cutting-edge microscopy with stem cell biology.
