<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Bio:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> Dr. Richard Leapman is the Scientific Director of the Intramural Program of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering
(NIBIB) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), while also heading NIBIB’s Laboratory of Cellular and Supramolecular Structure and Function. He has received several awards including the Microscopy Society of America Distinguished Scientist Award in 2018.
More recently, he and his research group have contributed to developing the volume EM techniques of focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) and serial block face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM), which provide three-dimensional ultrastructure
of entire eukaryotic cells and tissues, and he has provided an improved understanding of the capabilities and limitations of these techniques.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
