Dr Jiaqi Luo
Jiaqi is a postdoctoral research associate in multimodal cryo-imaging using SIMS and pFIB-SEM for biological samples. He graduated from Central South University (China) with a MEng and completed a joint PhD between Saarland University (Germany) and University of Lorraine (France), which focused on characterisation of antibacterial copper surfaces. He then moved to University of Liverpool where he started imaging bacterial biofilms with various techniques and developed interest in correlative light electron microscopy.
High Resolution imaging with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS)
Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is a highly sensitive analytical technique offering detailed chemical composition analysis in 3D space with subcellular resolution.
Biochemical Microscopy for imaging across Molecular Scales
Developing a transformative cryogenic 3D biochemical microscope, harnessing the power of high-resolution electron microscopy and mass spectrometry imaging
Subcellular Imaging
Next generation MS instrumentation will enable rapid molecular mapping of cells in tissue enabling elucidation of the chemistry behind biological mechanisms.
