The latest developments in UK Bioimaging and how we can feed in to wider international groups that are starting up. Discussions on some of the basic elements of running a core facility (including funding and impact measures) as well as the latest technological and application developments that affect ourselves and our users. Once again we will include Crib talks from attendees.
Registration is now open.
Scientific Organisers:
Peter O'Toole
Peter heads the Imaging and Cytometry Labs within the Technology Facility at the University of York which includes an array of confocal microscopes, flow cytometers and electron microscopes. Peter gained his PhD in the Cell Biophysics Laboratory at the University of Essex and has been involved in many aspects of fluorescence imaging. Research is currently focused on both technology and method development of novel probes and imaging modalities.
Peter has ongoing collaborations with many leading microscopy and cytometry companies and his group also provides research support to many academics and commercial organisations. Peter is also heavily involved with teaching microscopy and flow cytometry which includes organising and teaching on both the RMS Light Microscopy Summer School and the RMS Practical Flow Cytometry courses.
