3D X-ray Histology team is a highly dynamic and multidisciplinary team of scientist and engineers. Since 2023 the facility is led by Dr Orestis L. Katsamenis and the core team core includes Dr Phil Basford and Dr Stephanie Robinson.
The core team receives additional support from the entire μ-VIS team, as well as a diverse array of academics and imaging specialists. This collaborative effort includes contributors from the “Foundations for routine 3D X-ray Histology (XRH) project“, the Biomedical Imaging Unit (BIU), and the Histochemistry Research Facility (HRF) teams.
XRH core team
Orestis KatsamenisDr. Katsamenis has a background in bioengineering and is the Biomedical Imaging and X-ray Histology Lead at μ-VIS. He is in charge of the XRH facility and takes a leading role in the centre's collaborations with biologists and bioengineers.
XRH core team
Phil BasfordDr Basford is a Computer Scientists and is leading the development of the supporting computation workflows and hardware needed to enable the processing of the data acquired using 3D X-ray Histology imaging and 3D image data processing.
XRH core team
Fernando Alvarez BorgesDr Alvarez-Borges main research fields are Geotechnics and Geomechanics, and uses CT to study the interaction between building foundations and the soil and rock on which they are built. Dr Alvarez-Borges is also the NXCT liaison for the XRH team.
XRH core team
Stephanie RobinsonDr Robinson is a post-doctoral research fellow who works on 3D imaging and functional modelling of microlymphatic networks in both clinical and pre-clinical samples. Although her focus is on pulmonary networks, she also works on dermal and pancreatic lymphatic networks.
