2025 already looks good! We will be working with Prof Culver and his team at WashU, developing solutions for safely imaging the brain! 🧠

Stay tuned! 💡
Ending 2024 on a high! 🎉
Thanks to the EPSRC, 2025 will see the start of a partnership w/ Washington Univ. in St Louis to investigate approaches for imaging the human brain! 🧠💡

Public engagement and outreach have been central to our lab's activities! Here's a kit built and demonstrated at ETOP 2023 and making an appearance at next year's #2025ETOPGlasgow, too!

Looking for a kit for your lab? 💡🚦

With #2025ETOPGlasgow coming up, here's a look back at our "Biophotonics For All" kit; showing off spooky blood vessels at #outreach & #scicomm events has never been the same. 👻

An idea that started with me as a postdoc (thanks to @milespadgett.bsky.social), gained support from @leverhulme.bsky.social in 2022 and since collaborated globally and with more than 20 students, all of whom have made @kallepallilab.bsky.social better.
