EM-UK 2021 🗓

from to
Scheduled Archive Electron Microscopy Events

The EM-UK community meetings are designed to be an open forum for discussion of the latest developments and challenges in the field, suitable for both academic and commercial microscopists. This 2021 EM-UK meeting is going virtual! The meeting will include Techno Bites, talks and discussions about training.

This meeting is free to attend and will take place across the afternoons of the 7th and 8th January 2021. 

Quantum Design UK are proud to sponsor this event and Dr. Thanos Galanis, Applications Specialist from Nanomegas, will be presenting a Techno Bite.

Scientific Organisers 

Professor Paul Verkade University of Bristol
Paul has been involved in electron microscopy for over 20 years now and during that time has developed a particular interest in technology development, mainly in the field of Correlative Light Electron Microscopy. He loves organising training events and as such has been involved in many courses. For the RMS he is involved in the Rothamsted Research Cryo Course and was a member of the organising committee for emc2012.

Prof Pippa Hawes The Pirbright Institute
Pippa is the Head of Bioimaging at The Pirbright Institute based in Surrey. Projects centre around investigating the interactions between animal pathogens and host cells. Bioimaging is dedicated to using and developing confocal and electron microscopy techniques to study viruses exotic to the UK that infect farm animals. Pippa has extensive experience in the field of electron microscopy and is an active member of the RMS EM section committee. She believes the RMS has an important role to play in the promotion and teaching of microscopy and is consequently a member of the Outreach and Education committee and lecturer at the RMS EM School.

Dr Alex Ball Honorary Secretary Education (maternity leave cover)Natural History Museum
Alex is the Head of Imaging and Analysis in the Core Research Laboratories at the Natural History Museum. He has over 25 years’ experience in light and electron microscopy and has published research involving transmission and scanning electron microscopy, confocal microscopy and micro-CT. His PhD research involved the use of LM, SEM and SEM combined with computer-aided 3D reconstruction. Now his interests focus on non-destructive imaging and analysis of natural and cultural heritage samples.  Over the course of his career Alex has had the good fortune to be tasked with setting up the NHM’s micro-CT laboratory and more recently the 3D surface scanning facilities where our first job was to 3D scan an entire blue whale skeleton! He has a keen interest in outreach and education and has led the NHM’s imaging activities at the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival for over ten years and routinely participates in the NHM’s public outreach events.
