Volumetric imaging

Project

Structural Neurobiology

Developing cutting edge techniques to image structures in the brain on the molecular scale so we can identify early structural changes leading to disease onset.

Project

In Utero

Stillbirth is the result of varied processes taking place within both the mother’s and baby’s organs during pregnancy – a time of rapid changes.

Project

Cryo-ptycho-tomography

Developing a novel technique using cryo-electron ptychography to perform tomographic characterisation of biological processes at cellular scales, enabling detailed study of rare and complex structures in their native environments.

Project

Biochemical Microscopy for imaging across Molecular Scales

Developing a transformative cryogenic 3D biochemical microscope, harnessing the power of high-resolution electron microscopy and mass spectrometry imaging

Platform

Large Volume Tomography

High resolution large volume tomography with electron microscopy has the potential to transform our understanding of life, by linking the atomic and molecular structure of protein complexes in their biological context – the cell.

PhD Project Area

Cryogenic electron imaging for investigating the molecular sociology within cells and tissues

Electron imaging under cryogenic conditions allows cells and tissues to be imaged on multiple scales, with pristine preservation of fine molecular detail.

Life Science Challenge

Quantitative Biology Across Scales

Our aim: To combine innovative imaging techniques and AI in ways that will allow researchers to flexibly image across large and small scales – from seeing whole organs to views of cells and the intricate structures within them – and with these, to transform how doctors treat patients.
