Roger Wepf is Director of the Electron Microscopy ETH Zurich (EMEZ) since May 2006.
Born in Strasbourg (F) 1962 he received his PhD in cell biology in 1992 at the ETH. After a post-doctoral fellowship, he joined the physical instrumentation program at EMBL in Heidelberg, in the group of Max Haider, developing cryo-technology for corrected LVSEM and EM applications. In 1996 he was appointed junior group leader in the cell biology program at EMBL. Before he moved to the ETH, he was nine years with Beiersdorf AG, as head of the analytical microscopy department, in the research division in Hamburg. Working mainly on human skin morphomics, colloidal systems and adhesives and nano-analytic technology research in-vivo and ex-vivo at the level of light to electron microscopy, spectroscopy and SPM with a focus on developing cryo-technology for microscopy. His major interest at ETH Zurich is now focused in the field of correlative microscopy, automatic sample preparation and imaging techniques for particle imaging technology.
