About
After graduating from Bangor University, I returned home to Liverpool and joined Professor Luning Liu’s team as a Research Technician in IIB at the UoL. From this I moved into my role as a core Senior Research Support Technician within ISMIB. My training and subsequent work in microbiology and electron microscopy led to me earning my current position as Bioimaging Technical Specialist at the Biomedical Electron Microscopy Unit and Centre for Cell Imaging in LIV-SRF. My expertise lie within my skills as an electron microscopist. Specialising in sample preparation and data acquisition using a range of techniques to achieve high quality EM data on a variety of biological samples. This includes but is not limited to:
Transmission Electron Microscopy
Scanning Electron Microscopy
Serial Block Face - SEM
Array Tomography
Ultramicrotomy
In 2024, I founded the North-West Electron Microscopy Network. A multi-disciplinary, informal cooperative of electron microscopists with the aim to communicate and collaborate, strengthening EM across the Northwest.
