I am a postdoc in the Advanced Imaging Unit, working with the mesoscope, and other tissue based methods of microscopy. My expertise in the unit is in tissue preparation. I have a multidisciplinary background that spans systems biology to palaeontology. At the heart of what I do is the dynamics of tissue scales of biology. I hope to promote the use of mesoscopic imaging at the IGC through improved techniques and the advancement of the biological concepts and ideas that emerge from this scale of biology.
