My role facilitates researcher and student access to high end light microscopy (LM) equipment; I train all LM users of the Image Resource Facility (IRF) on our equipment, troubleshoot any issues that arise, maintain the equipment, and contribute to experiment design. I am responsible for developing our LM technologies & techniques and contribute my microscopy expertise to teaching events.

I have recently integrated a custom-built Light Sheet microscope (SPIM - Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy) which is now available for staff to receive introductory training on, and I'm interested in flexible, sub-diffraction ("super resolution") imaging platforms suitable for live imaging for shared use in the IRF.
