Claire M. Brown, PhD, is a leader in advanced bioimaging, pioneering Canada’s leading optical imaging platform, as director of the Advanced BioImaging Facility (ABIF) and a professor in the Department of Physiology at McGill University. Her research leverages cutting-edge biophysical techniques to investigate the molecular mechanisms regulating cell adhesion and migration in both healthy and diseased cellular systems. She has played a pivotal role in optimizing live imaging conditions and establishing community-driven quality control standards for live cell and quantitative light microscopy. Her exemplary leadership has been crucial in building the global bioimaging community as co-founder of Canada BioImaging (CBI), the Canadian Network of Scientific Platforms (CNSP), and BioImaging North America (BINA), where she promotes sustainability and collaboration across the bioimaging field and empowers imaging scientists while advancing initiatives focused on technology training, education, and professional development. As Chair of Global BioImaging (GBI), she fosters international collaboration and has been instrumental in developing international recommendations, positioning her as a respected global leader. Her leadership in developing and delivering over 170 courses and workshops spanning topics including fundamental and advanced technologies, professional development, and facility management, gain her recognition as a member of the Order of Quebec for Excellence in Education.
