Carolina Eliscovich, group leader at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, studies RNA biology with a focus on how mRNAs are spatially organized and regulated in tissues such as the liver.

Through the France-BioImaging Access Fund, she joined the Montpellier Resource Imaging facility and the Edouard Bertrand lab to apply sequential smFISH with an automated microfluidic system. Despite unexpected challenges, the collaboration enabled her to visualize, for the first time, multiple RNA species in regenerating mouse liver tissue.

She emphasizes how this unique opportunity provided unprecedented insights into gene expression heterogeneity in vivo, and highlights the generosity and expertise of the France-BioImaging teams, which made this breakthrough possible.
