DESCRIPTION:The Cellular Imaging Core Facility (CICF)\, based in the Centr
 e for Human Genetics at the Old Road Campus\, leverages cutting-edge imagi
 ng technologies to provide new spatio-temporal insights into complex biolo
 gical systems. 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
