To your colleagues, you’re a collaborator. To the world of science, you’re helping drive innovation. To us, you’re a hero.
Cell Culture Heroes is the scientist recognition program where connections are made and researchers like you are brought into the spotlight and celebrated. No matter what your stage of career or learning might be, our goal is to elevate you and the science you are doing right now, every single day.
Scott Davies, PhD, MRes, MSci
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
University of Birmingham, UK
Watch Gibco Cell Culture Hero, Scott, PhD, MRes, MSci as he presents "Investigating the biology of cell-in-cell structures in the human liver using a range of microscopy modality." Scott will share how advances in high content imaging and automated analysis have improved the understanding of lymphocyte cell-in-cell structures formation in the liver.
