Rate My Professor Frédérique Vanholsbeeck

Her primary research interests lie in biophotonics, including optical coherence tomography, fluorescence spectroscopy, and nonlinear imaging for real-time quantitative biomedical analysis. Key publications include “Absolute bacterial cell enumeration using flow cytometry” (Ou, McGoverin, Swift, Vanholsbeeck; Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2017), “Rapid and cost-effective evaluation of bacterial viability using flow cytometry with fluorescent redox dyes” (Ou, McGoverin, Swift, Vanholsbeeck; Analyst, 2019), and “Optical coherence tomography complements confocal microscopy for improved histological assessment of microscopic tumor margins” (Hari, McGoverin, Swift, Vanholsbeeck; Scientific Reports, 2019). These contributions have advanced bacterial viability assessment and tissue imaging techniques. Vanholsbeeck has received the 2020 Hill Tinsley Medal from the New Zealand Association of Scientists, Fellow status with SPIE, Senior Membership in Optica and SPIE, and multiple Marsden Fund grants, including Fast-Start and standard rounds in 2021 and 2022. Elected Mema o Te Apārangi by Royal Society Te Apārangi, her leadership influences photonic innovations across health and quantum fields in New Zealand.
