Clemens becomes a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering

What a time to be alive! This is a fantastic recognition of Clemens' career and the group's efforts over the year. ( link to Clemens' FREng page )

Press release on the cold fish project!

Our research partner, the British Antarctic Survey has issued a press release on our cell culture preprint! Here is the link . It has already been picked up by various news outlet in the UK and abroad, as well as in science platforms!

LAG members present at conferences over the summer!

A few group members have shared our work to the scientific community over the summer, including at the International congress for Biological Physics (Clemens, Francesca, Anne-Pia) ; the Society for Experimental Biology annual conference (Francesca) ; The Proteostasis meeting (Amir, Anne-Pia, Francesca) and the EMBO Physics...

Our team wins second place at the CEB robot war

Ed, Yuetong, Amir and Anne-Pia competed in the CEB robot club and got awarded second place! They also won the medal for best innovation for their circular saw on an arm of the delightful Bot2Go!

Congratulations to our Part IIB students, Boyd and Shonit, for successfully submitting their final project reports

They worked for the whole academic year on imaging membrane fluidity in GUVs. A big thank you to Amir and Clemens for their dedicated supervision and support throughout the project.

Our new literature review: “Imaging dynamic subcellular organisation at high spatiotemporal resolution” is out!

The review is now published in the Annual Review of Biophysics! It focusses on what we can learn by visualising the movement of intracellular compartments, which support key cellular processes like protein synthesis. A key factor in designing microscopy experiments is to match the spatial and temporal resolution of your...

the actin cytoskeleton (and nucleus) of an Antarctic fish cell in culture (scale bar 5 μm)

Our primary Cell culture of Antarctic fish preprint is out!

Find it here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.24.720652v1.abstract . Antarctic fish are cold-blooded, which means their body temperatures are between -2 and 2 °C year-round. Such low temperatures pose major challenges to the foundations of animal cellular function, at least as we know it from studying...

LAG members present at Cambridge Microscopy Meeting

LAG PhD students Yuetong Jia and Rebecca McClelland presented their work at the Cambridge Microscopy Meeting (CMM2025) this week, giving talks on "High-Accuracy and Broadly Applicable Autofocus for Fluorescence Microscopy" and "The SIMple microscope: Fibre-based platform for accessible SIM imaging". Rebecca also won the...

LAG members Rebecca McClelland, Yuetong Jia, Liuba Dvinskikh and Yutong Yuan presented their work at the Focus on Microscopy (FOM 2026) conference in Stockholm, Sweden.

Strong representation from the Laser Analytics Group at the Focus on Microscopy (FOM 2026) conference in Stockholm, Sweden at the end of March. Rebecca McClelland presented fibre-SIM developments, Yuetong presented work on deep-learning based image analysis, Liuba Dvinskikh presented hybrid LSFM-OPM development, and Yutong...

LAG welcomes our new PhD student, Anmin Li!

Anmin is starting his PhD in our Team, we're glad to have him around! He graduated from Imperial College London in 2024 with an integrated MEng in Biomedical Engineering. In October 2024, he joined the Photonic and Electronic Systems CDT to pursue an MRes in photonics, focusing on biophotonics for medical imaging...
