Dr Louise Hughes is the Business Manager for EBSD, FIB and Life Sciences at Oxford Instruments NanoAnalysis. Prior to this she was the the facility manager of the Oxford Brookes University Bioimaging unit. Louise specialises in 3D electron microscopy and has been a biological electron microscopist since 2000. Her research focus has been on optimising biological sample preparation, methodology and imaging techniques across a wide range of sample types. She has extensive experience in SBFSEM, array tomography, electron tomography and 3D data reconstruction. Her current work involves applying EDS to biological samples and working with correlative  data analysis.

Scott is a postdoctoral researcher at the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute studying mammalian digit regeneration. Scott studied for his PhD at the Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh, where he used diverse electron microscopy approaches to investigate bone mineralisation during skeletal development. He went on to establish the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute electron microscopy core facility before joining Mekayla Storer’s group to pursue his postdoctoral studies. Scott is interested in combining molecular biology approaches and electron microscopy to understand biological mechanisms at the nanoscale.
