The Henry Wellcome Laboratory for Cell Imaging was made possible by the award of £1.2 million from the Joint Infrastructure Fund administered by The Wellcome Trust.
Scientists use many different techniques to try to understand how things work in healthy living organisms and what happens when they go wrong in human disease. Microscope imaging is a very powerful way of making new discoveries as it enables visualisation and analysis of molecules, structures and cellular interactions in real time. Our state-of-the art microscopes and image analysis systems will foster exciting new discoveries that will impact on future biotechnology, agricultural and environment sustainability as well as human health and wellbeing. It also supports world-class training of early career researchers and PhD students.
Our microscopes and image analysis systems incorporate the latest artificial intelligence approaches, multi-user image analysis, 3D reconstruction, deconvolution and archiving. This advanced microscopy facility is fully supported by an experienced microscopist, providing extensive training in advanced microscopy and data analysis as well as critical technical advice.
