Alessandro Zunino now describes contributions to the Image Scanning Microscope (s^2-ISM) for super-res 3D sectioning much like SIM, and FLIM-capable but with a small confocal photodiode array!
Anthoula Chatzimpinou has concerns about microglia with unusual morphology causing damage in neurodegenerative diseases, and tells us how they can be tracked label-free with X-Ray absorbance and multiplexed fluorescence techniques! 🔬❤️
Niamh Burke joins us from University College Dublin to tell us about a fantastic community-driven open-source endoscope project! ⭐️🔬
Now for our quick fire 🔥 Award ECR flash talks! 5 minutes no questions asked ⏳… #mmc2025uk
Many of the awarded case studies have leveraged these awards to secure larger funding: e.g. fo advanced imaging of key molecular signatures in cardiomyopathy!
Emily is Head of the Imaging Resource Facility at City St George UoL, and also has a key role in encouraging and recognising ECR excellence in imaging outputs locally.
Next up we have Emily Woodcock, an expert in melanoma cell mechanics with SICM (scanning ion conductance microscopy).
Huge implications of AI pathology being discussed here for colorectal cancers, for which tools are yet to be progressed to clinical trials
