Stowe Family Law LLP are offering the Law School’s undergraduate students an exciting opportunity to undertake a work experience placement at their Leamington Spa office, in the form of a Law Prize awarded to our highest performing student.

Satyajit Mayor, Mohan Balasubramanian and Masanori Mishima along with a group in the USA (Abhishek Kumar at Marine Biological laboratories- MBL- WoodsHole) have been awarded a Wellcome Trust Bioimaging Award.

In Phase 1 of this project, feasibility, proof-of-principle, and ease of use of the prototype light-sheet system with three detection modalities using existing and new fluorescent proteins will be established. In Phase 2, we explore a breadth of biological questions through investigation of model membranes, cultured cells (yeast, mammalian), and animal models (nematode, fly, fish). Our ultimate goal is to develop transformative imaging technology including optics and probes for widespread use by quantitative cell biologists everywhere.
