Home to one of the most comprehensive suites of microscopy systems in the University of Oxford\, the CICF supports a broad spectrum o f imaging approaches including confocal and widefield microscopy\, live-ce ll and high-content imaging (for slides and multiwell plates)\, and super- resolution techniques such as SIM\, SMLM/STORM\, Airyscan and SoRa.\n \nTh e CICFs advanced capabilities also encompass specialised methods such as F LIM\, FRET\, FRAP\, FCCS and TIRF\, complemented by powerful analysis work flows that combine classical segmentation with machine learning to interro gate highly complex five-dimensional datasets.\n \nThis talk will highligh t how the facilities imaging and analysis expertise—together with our ex perience in live-cell imaging and sample preparation—can add real collab orative value to your neuroscience research. We will also showcase some of our current technologies and example projects\, including live and fixed neuronal models.\n \n \nSpeaker Biographies:\n \nJames Bancroft \nDr James Bancroft is the Microscopy Team Lead for the Cellular Imaging Core Facili ty (CICF)\, a role he has held since 2020. He leads a team of four special ists supporting a diverse research community in designing\, executing\, an d analysing imaging assays across a wide range of biological systems.\nSin ce taking on the role\, James has significantly expanded the CICF’s tech nological and analytical capabilities through successful grant application s and strategic industry partnerships. He has extensive experience in the development of advanced imaging assays and is an expert in multiple micros copy modalities\, combining insights gained during his academic career wit h over three years in industry working at the forefront of microscopy inno vation.\nBefore joining the CICF\, James spent six years as a post-doctora l researcher at the University of Oxford\, where his work focused on apply ing live-cell imaging to investigate the regulation of cell division.\n \n Katie Holden \nKatie Holden is an Advanced Imaging Specialist in the Cellu lar Imaging Core Facility\, where she supports researchers through user tr aining\, imaging assay development\, and advanced image analysis. She has extensive expertise in imaging complex samples such as organoids\, iPSC-de rived models\, and live-cell systems\, and she develops bespoke image-anal ysis pipelines to extract meaningful biological insight from high-dimensio nal data.\nBefore joining the CICF\, Katie worked in the Centre for Human Genetics iPSC Facility and the Diabetes and Inflammation Laboratory\, wher e she gained extensive experience in iPSC culture and differentiation. She also applied these skills within the neuroscience field to generate and s tudy iPSC-derived neuronal models using advanced microscopy.\nSpeakers:\nJ ames Bancroft (University of Oxford) LOCATION:Wellcome Building ( Meeting room A)\, Headington OX3 7JX TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/1cb3857f-0e02-473d-987a-10445f03f80c/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk: Advanced microscopy and analysis across scales with the Cellular Imaging Core Facility - James Bancroft (University of Oxford) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Investigating neuron-glial communication & support in neurodegener ative disease - Charmaine Lang (University of Oxford) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251030T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251030T130000Z UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/988423a2-ac43-48b1-a721-5f05d44b53ad/ DESCRIPTION:\nSpeakers:\nCharmaine Lang (University of Oxford) LOCATION:Wellcome Building ( Meeting room B )\, Headington OX3 7JX TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/988423a2-ac43-48b1-a721-5f05d44b53ad/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Investigating neuron-glial communication & support in neu rodegenerative disease - Charmaine Lang (University of Oxford) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Integrating high-content approaches to understand Parkinson’s di sease - Dr Brent Ryan (University of Oxford ) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251016T120000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251016T130000 UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/60ea1de0-805e-499c-a897-b8bc67555750/ DESCRIPTION:\nSpeakers:\nDr Brent Ryan (University of Oxford ) LOCATION:Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics ( Meeting room B )\, Hea dington OX3 7BN TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/60ea1de0-805e-499c-a897-b8bc67555750/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Integrating high-content approaches to understand Parkins on’s disease - Dr Brent Ryan (University of Oxford ) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The intellectual disability protein Rabconnectin-3a integrates nut rient sensing and v-ATPase activity - Dr Meenakshi Bhardwaj (University of Oxford) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251002T120000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251002T130000 UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/c418016c-db34-4ed5-94ff-acb0583e3819/ DESCRIPTION:\nSpeakers:\nDr Meenakshi Bhardwaj (University of Oxford) LOCATION:Venue to be announced TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/c418016c-db34-4ed5-94ff-acb0583e3819/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:The intellectual disability protein Rabconnectin-3a integ rates nutrient sensing and v-ATPase activity - Dr Meenakshi Bhardwaj (Univ ersity of Oxford) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Countering deleterious phase transitions in neurodegenerative dise ase DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250916T120000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250916T130000 UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/4c490dfd-30cd-42f5-ad87-b00a786130be/ DESCRIPTION:James Shorter is Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and stud ies how to revert protein aggregation in neurodegeneration.\n\nTitel: 'Cou ntering deleterious phase transitions in neurodegenerative disease'\n\nWhe n: Tuesday\, 16th September 2025\n\nTime: 12-13 pm\n\nWhere: Bernard Sunl ey Lecture Theatre (Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology\, Headington OX3 7FY ).
