New Hyperspectral BioImaging Facility
EPSRC funded Strategic Equipment: EP/Y01488X/1: ~£1.7 million investment.
Confocal Fluorescence (White Light Laser, FLIM, 2 Photon, SHG, Lightning) with Coherent Raman Scattering (SRS, CARS).
Applications for access now being taken.
Research Interests
We are an interdisciplinary group researching the structure and interactions of matter at the molecular and nanoscale. We collaborate closely with colleagues in Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Medicine, the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology and the Bragg Centre for Materials Research.
The research area themes of the group are :
The underpinning themes for the group are:
The MNP group will welcome and support fellowship applications to external funders that build on the core research themes of the group which are Physics of life, Engineering biology, Healthcare technologies and Sustainability, as well as new research expertise in the underpinning themes of Theory & modelling, Machine learning/AI and Instrumentation. Please contact Head of Group Professor Lorna Dougan.
