My Position

• I am responsible for the Electron Microscopoe (EM) Division of the 'Sussex Centre for Advanced Microscopy' here in Life Sciences. As this is a Central Service Facility for the School of Life Sciences there is a wide variety of research projects, with the instrumentation being used by virtually every group within the School at one time or another. These facilities are also used by a number of researchers from various other departments around the campus. For a thorough insight into the facilities available and the ongoing research please go to  the EM Division of the Sussex Centre for Advanced Microscopy .
