We have just updated the Field Guide and FAQs with how to deal with imaging artefacts. Plus, check out our first results update.
The Team
Kings College London
Juan Burrone
Professor of Developmental Neurophysiology and Group Leader at the MRC Centre for Neurodevelopmental Disorders at King’s College London
Juan is interested in understanding how the brain forms. Using tools that allow the exploration of the inner world of a neuron, he aims to untangle the complex wiring patterns of connections between neurons that emerges as the brain forms. And, in the process, get beautiful images of neurons and neurnal networks. In his spare time, he goes trail running with his dog in the muddy Kent countryside.
Guilherme Neves @GuiVSNeves
Research Scientist at the MRC Centre for Neurodevelopmental Disorders at King’s College London
Guilherme spends most days peering at the intricate details of our beautiful brains through powerful microscopes. He is fascinated by the shapes of the brains’ cells and how they connect with each other. When he's not, he loves to share with people what we find by participating in outreach initiatives such as Pint of Science or DNA academy. Outside science, you can probably find Guilherme either doing or watching some form of football, cycling or running.
Rosalind Franklin Institute
Chloe Cheng
PhD Student at the Rosalind Franklin Institute
Chloe's research background is in nuclear engineering and radiation biology. She is currently pursuing her PhD at the Rosalind Franklin Institute and the University of Edinburgh, where her thesis combines imaging and mass spectrometry techniques to map the synapses in the developing hippocampus. Outside of work, she enjoys birding and photography.
Michele Darrow
Head of Data Strategy for Cryo Electron Imaging at the Rosalind Franklin Institute
Michele's research background is in cryo-electron microscopy, image annotation techniques, and protein misfolding disorders. She is excited to use image annotation to answer interesting biological questions and to build new data analysis processing pipelines. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, playing with her dogs (Jinx and Charm) and playing video games.
Mark Basham @basham_mark
Head of the Artificial Intelligence & Informatics group at the Rosalind Franklin Institute
Mark's research background is in 3D volume reconstruction and visualization, specifically on Big Data systems. He is an avid fan of open source software, contributing to many projects such as Savu and Dawn. In his spare time, he enjoys vollunteering his time through outreach activities such as working with the Lego Beamline also on twitter.
Patricia Smith
Community Manager (Science Scribbler projects) at the Rosalind Franklin Institute
Patricia's research background is in biomaterials and materials science, in particular the development of artificial skin grafts. She traded in the lab to work more within science communication and outreach. Outside of work she spends most of her hours in the gym or rowing on the river Thames.
