Ricardo Henriques

Group Leader

Started in: September 2013

Funding: Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian


Ricardo is a 11th-year Group Leader in our research group. Worked on 78 publications. Contributed to 22 technologies. Raised 28 grants. Collaborates with 23 labs. Mentored 13 PhD Students, 9 Postdocs, 2 Masters Students, 3 Postdoc (now PI)s, 1 Internship Student, 2 Software Engineers.

By training, I am a Particle Physicist that fell in love with Biological Physics shortly after graduating. I did my PhD in both the Musa Mhlanga and Christophe Zimmer laboratories, carrying out research between iMM (Portugal), Institut Pasteur (France), CSIR (South Africa) and Andor Technology (UK and USA). During this time, I entered the field of Super-Resolution Microscopy, developing technologies that enable imaging of cellular and viral structures at unprecedented resolution. During my PhD and postdoc, I applied the methods I developed to study Cell Signalling, T-cell Immunology and Viral Infection. In 2013 I established my first research group at UCL, with a dual emphasis on Developing new Imaging Technologies and Cell Biology research. In 2017 I was further invited to extend my group into the Francis Crick Institute, where I established a second small laboratory. In 2019 I was promoted to full Professor at UCL. My technological developments are widely disseminated to the Cell Biology and Biomedical research community. My algorithms QuickPALM, NanoJ, SRRF and SQUIRREL are among the most used and cited analytical methods in the Super-Resolution Microscopy field. My core philosophy has been to make my research reproducible, transparent and open-source.

Talks biosketch

Prof. Ricardo Henriques is a group leader at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, moving his laboratory in 2020 from University College London and Francis Crick Institute in the UK. His group uses optical and computational biophysics to study cell biology and host-pathogen interactions. He graduated in Physics, specialising in biophotonics and robotics. He finished his PhD in 2011, where he developed super-resolution microscopy technologies at the Musa Mhlanga lab. He then pursued postdoc research at Institut Pasteur Paris, studying HIV-1 T-cell infection through nanoscale imaging in the Christophe Zimmer lab.

Career biosketch

Prof. Henriques became PhD in 2011 (Mhlanga lab – iMM and Zimmer lab – I. Pasteur), Ass. Prof. at UCL in 2013, PI at UCL-Crick in 2017, Chair at UCL in 2019, Co-Dir. of the Wellcome Trust Optical Biology PhD Progr. in 2019, PI at IGC and Hon. Prof. at UCL in 2020. He is a fellow of the RMS, bioRxiv affiliate, member of the outreach In2ScienceUK, and ScienceForUkraine.

Scientific and Professional Profile and Career

Ricardo Henriques is a distinguished researcher who has significantly contributed to cell biology, super-resolution microscopy and computational imaging. He obtained his Physics Diploma from the University of Lisbon in 2005 and earned his Biophysics PhD in 2011, specialising in real-time super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. This early work laid the foundation for his later breakthroughs in live-cell imaging. Between 2011 and 2013, Ricardo completed postdoctoral work at Institut Pasteur in Paris, where he furthered his understanding of cell biology and infection. In 2013, he joined the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology at UCL as an Associate Professor. During his tenure at UCL, he led a research group that pushed the boundaries of optical microscopy, machine learning, and cell mechanisms. His groundbreaking work led to a dual role at the Francis Crick Institute in 2017 and a promotion to Full Professor at UCL in 2019.

Since 2020, Ricardo has returned to Portugal. He is currently a Research Group Leader at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência and holds an Honorary Professor Chair position at UCL. In addition to his research, Ricardo has contributed to steering boards and committees, including the IGC-IBB PhD Program, the Wellcome Trust-UCL Optical Biology PhD Program, and the MRC-LMCB Athena Swan Steering Board. He is also a member of scientific advisory boards for organizations such as the European BioImage Archive (EMBL-EBI). He co-founded the FocalPlane initiative (Company of Biologists) and AGRAFr (Associação de Diplomados Portugueses em França).

Ricardo's expertise extends beyond academia, as he has also collaborated with industry partners. From 2008 to 2011, he worked as a Systems Developer and Consultant for Andor Technology, where he applied his knowledge and skills to commercial systems. He continues collaborating with companies like Abbelight and Roche, helping commercialise technologies such as SRRF.

Contributions to the Generation of New Ideas, Tools, Methodologies or Knowledge

Ricardo Henriques has made significant contributions to the fields of super-resolution microscopy, computational imaging, and cell biology. He has pioneered innovative technologies, methodologies, and knowledge that highlight the significance of his work and its broad-reaching implications for the scientific community and beyond.

His work in super-resolution microscopy has positively impacted the field, enabling researchers to visualise dynamic cellular structures at nansocale resolution and precision. One of his notable contributions is the development of QuickPALM (Henriques et al., Nature Methods, 2010; DOI:10.1038/nmeth0510-339), the first open-source software for single-molecule localization microscopy. This approach enables real-time 3D nanoscale imaging in living cells. Since its inception, QuickPALM has become a gold standard in the single-molecule microscopy field, setting a standard for imaging technologies worldwide.

In addition to QuickPALM, Ricardo has introduced a suite of critical open-source software tools, including the large NanoJ toolbox (Laine et al., Journal of Physics, 2019; DOI:10.1088/1361-6463/ab0261). This toolbox encompasses NanoJ-SQUIRREL (Culley et al., Nature Methods, 2018; DOI:10.1088/1361-6463/ab0261) and NanoJ-SRRF (Gustafsson et al., Nature Communications, 2016; DOI:10.1038/ncomms12471), among others, which have been key in analysing super-resolution data, facilitating image reconstruction, artifact reduction, and complex dataset interpretation.

Ricardo's pioneering work extends beyond technology development. He has integrated machine learning into advanced bioimaging, exemplified by his development of ZeroCostDL4Mic (von Chamier et al., Nature Communications, 2021; DOI:10.1038/s41467-021-22518-0) and DL4MicEverywhere platforms (Hidalgo-Cenalmor at al., bioRxiv, 2023:10.1101/2023.11.19.567606). These platforms democratise access to deep learning for microscopy, enabling enhanced analysis and interpretation of imaging data. Ricardo Henriques has made significant contributions in the field of biomedical imaging technology, which he has used to generate new biological knowledge. In his lab, super-resolution microscopy was used to understand the nanoscale distribution and dynamics of HIV cell receptors CD4 and CCR5 during viral binding (Yuan et al., Viruses, 2021; DOI:10.3390/v13010142). Henriques's technology was also used to identify the polarization of the entry fusion complex of poxviruses (Gray et al., Nature Microbiology, 2019; 10.1038/s41564-019-0488-4). To further decipher the nanoscale mechanisms of ESCRT-III-mediated cell division of archaeons (Risa et al., Science, 2020; DOI:10.1126/science.aaz2532 and Harker-Kirschneck et al., PNAS, 2022; DOI:10.1073/pnas.2107763119). In addition, his technology was key in uncovering how closed mitosis requires local disassembly of the nuclear envelope (Dey et al., Nature, 2020; DOI:10.1038/s41586-020-2648-3).

His contributions have been widely disseminated through high-impact publications, with over 67 publications to his name. Over his career, Ricardo has also secured 7 million euros in funding from agencies such as ERC Consolidator, Horizon Europe, and Wellcome Trust, reflecting his global scientific impact and sustained excellence in research, training, and leadership.

His trainees have gone on to secure positions in academia and industry, demonstrating the impact of his mentorship.

Ricardo has also taught specialised graduate courses in cell biology, super-resolution microscopy, and machine learning at University College London and Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência. He has organized international workshops and training courses, training over 300 researchers worldwide in advanced imaging techniques. Through these activities, he has built an extensive network and provided key skills to accelerate careers.
