Advancing Cellular Imaging in vivo in situ in Humans

The PhD student will tackle these challenges and design new endomicroscopy probes (e.g. fibre-bundle or chip-on-tip based) to enhance the spatial resolution of existing ones while ensuring in vivo clinical option is maintained. Student will have at disposal a clinically approved and custom endomicroscopy instrument funded by EPSRC IRC Proteus (www.proteus.ac.uk) with further consumables funding to build on this.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual with hands on skills in optics, electronics and programming. We will train where needed and applications from motivated and technologically astute biologists are welcome! We have new facilities at the University of Dundee and the University of Edinburgh to support training and innovation. Student will be based in Dundee with frequent visits to the Queen’s Medical Research Institute at the University of Edinburgh.
