Over the last seven years, I have conducted research that has its roots in a collaboration of over 10 years with the School of Life Sciences, Nottingham University and their project, Advanced Imaging and Microscopy. This led to further collaborations with a wider network of internationally renowned core imaging laboratories in the field of Life Science. The three case-studies from this investigation are:
• COMPARE, The Cell Signalling and Pharmacology Group and a minor study at the Molecular and Cellular Biology Group, School of Life Sciences, Queens Medical School, University of Nottingham.
• Core Research Laboratories Imaging and Analysis Centre, Natural History Museum (NHM), London.
• The Centre for Cellular Imaging (CCI), Sahlgrenska Academy, Gothenburg University, Chalmers University and the Biofilms Research Centre for Biointerfaces, Malmo University.
