Overview

Esther T. Stoeckli is affiliated with the University of Zurich in Switzerland and has contributed extensively to research in biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and neuroscience. Their scientific work spans across multiple subfields, including molecular biology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, genetics, biophysics, and developmental neuroscience.

Their research topics cover a range of specialized areas such as axon guidance and neuronal signaling, genetic and kidney cyst diseases, advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques, neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms, nerve injury and regeneration, hedgehog signaling pathway studies, and cell image analysis techniques.

Esther T. Stoeckli has authored several papers, notable among them:

  • Isotropic imaging across spatial scales with axially swept light-sheet microscopy, 2022, Nature Protocols
  • Benchtop mesoSPIM: a next-generation open-source light-sheet microscope for cleared samples, 2024, Nature Communications
  • Reflective multi-immersion microscope objectives inspired by the Schmidt telescope, 2023, Nature Biotechnology
  • Axon guidance at the spinal cord midline-A live imaging perspective, 2021, The Journal of Comparative Neurology
  • The Nogo-66 Receptors NgR1 and NgR3 Are Required for Commissural Axon Pathfinding, 2022, Zurich Open Repository and Archive (University of Zurich)

Their frequent coauthors include Alexandre Dumoulin, Martina Schaettin, Fabian F. Voigt, Fritjof Helmchen, and Nikole R. Zuñiga.

In terms of publication venues, their work appears most often in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), with additional publications in Development, SSRN Electronic Journal, Nature Protocols, and Nature Communications.
