Cindy Evelyn

Student at Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research

Cindy Evelyn is a research assistant in the Imaging Lab at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) in Melbourne, Australia.3 She joined the Centre for Dynamic Imaging at WEHI in 2018 to assist researchers with experiments involving widefield and confocal microscopy.1

Evelyn completed her undergraduate studies in Physics at the University of Melbourne and then undertook her Honours year at WEHI.1 During her Honours research, she worked on blood stage malaria invasion with Associate Professor Kelly Rogers, Professor Alan Cowman, and Dr. Lachlan Whitehead, gaining expertise in live cell fluorescent microscopy.1

Currently, Evelyn collaborates with researchers at WEHI, focusing on blood stage malaria invasion using advanced microscopy techniques, including lattice light sheet microscopy.1 Her work has contributed to significant advancements in understanding malaria parasite biology. In 2021, she was the lead author of a study published in Nature Communications that used a custom-built lattice light sheet microscope to capture high-resolution videos of individual malaria parasites invading red blood cells.2

Evelyn's research has provided critical new information about malaria parasite biology, which may have applications for the development of new antimalarial medicines.2
