Jens Rittscher

Professor of Engineering Science

The aim of my research is to enhance our understanding of complex biological processes through the analysis of image data that has been acquired at the microscopic scale. We develop algorithms and methods that enable the quantification of a broad range of phenotypical alterations, the precise localization of signalling events, and the ability to correlate such events in the context of the biological specimen. Much of this research is centred around optical microscopy.

Doug Higgs

Emeritus Professor, Consultant Physician

We use state-of-the-art laboratory and computational approaches to understand how mammalian genes are switched on and off during development and differentiation and how this goes awry in human genetic diseases.

Felix Hofmann

Professor of Engineering Science

I’m interested in the effect of defects on material properties, ranging from single atom defects, such as vacancies and interstitials, to extended defects, such as dislocations, to macroscopic defects, for example cracks and voids.
