Invited Speakers
Stephanie Höhn:
Stephanie is a member of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) in the research group of Ray Goldstein at the University of Cambridge, UK. Her current research focuses on the biological and biophysical aspects of development and embryonic cell sheet curling in Volvox and its relatives.
Daniel Von Wangenheim:
Daniel is a member of Ernst Stelzer's lab at the Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Sciences in Frankfurt. He uses Lightsheet microscopy to study the dynamics of plant growth at organ, cell and sub-cellular levels.
Colin Blackburn:
Colin Blackburn: Colin is a software developer with the Open Microscopy Environment (OME) team at the University of Dundee and is affiliated with the Centre for Gene Regulation and Expression.
Orla Hanrahan:
Orla has worked with Andor Technology as an Application Specialist in Life Science for the past four years. Her role brings her in touch with all the latest developments and innovations in both camera technology and microscopy applications.
Chris Power:
Chris is a 3D Imaging Specialist at Carl Zeiss UK. As project manager he has overseen the development of the Zeiss Lightsheet Z1 from optical bench to market and continues to support users of this and other technologies.
