<p class="MsoNormal">Central facilities and collaborative ownership are effective and efficient ways to maximize availability and use of high-end instrumentation, including cryo-TEMs and plasma-FIBs. Despite the many benefits of central facilities, they require
good cooperation between the manager and users to maintain scientific and financial productivity. Join our panel discussion with experienced facility managers to discover how to improve operations at your facility. With Peter O’Toole of the University of York
and the Microscopists podcast and Emma Hesketh of the University of Leicester.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Dr. Emma Hesketh, Facility Manager, Midlands Regional Cryo-EM Facility, University of Leicester<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Emma has over 10 years of experience in electron microscopy, specializing in single particle analysis. Her cryo-EM journey began at the University of Leeds in the Asbury Biostructure Laboratories, where she researched virus genome encapsidation
using cryo-EM before transitioning into a support scientist role within the electron microscopy facility.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the past two years, Emma has managed the Midlands Regional Cryo-EM Facility, a cutting-edge laboratory established in 2017. The Midlands partnership now includes the Universities of Leicester, Birmingham, Aston, Nottingham, and Warwick.
The facility features a Titan Krios Transmission Electron Microscope (previously produced by FEI), a bespoke computing cluster, and fully equipped sample preparation laboratories all supported by a dedicated expert team.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Emma is passionate about training, with a strong focus on optimizing sample preparation and hands-on support. She has enabled numerous successful collaborations across academia and industry and is committed to making cryo-EM more accessible,
efficient, and rewarding for researchers at every level.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Dr. Peter O’Toole, Director of the Bioscience Technology Facility, University of York<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Peter covers the broad spectrum of technologies required for a wide user base of multi-disciplinary scientists, including data science, genomics, imaging and cytometry, metabolomics and proteomics, molecular interactions and biophysics,
and protein production. He has a team of 31 expert staff. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Peter built up and heads the highly successful Imaging and Cytometry Labs, which include an array of light and electron microscopes, flow cytometers, and novel instrumentation. This is a flagship EuroBioimaging node and Zeiss Labs@Location
that hosts multiple demo instruments for Zeiss, Coulter, PhaseFocus, Tomocube (for which he has helped design), and BD.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He is the president of the Royal Microscopical Society and an active member on many other international bodies, including CTLS, TSN, and ELMI, and he chairs and serves on multiple national funding grant panels and international institutional
strategic advisory committees. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With a PhD from the Cell Biophysics Laboratory at the University of Essex, he has been involved in many aspects of fluorescence imaging and cytometry. He currently focuses on technology and method development of novel probes, novel imaging
modalities, data analysis, and national networks. His lab also provides research support to many academics and commercial organizations with ongoing collaborations and consultancy contracts with many leading companies. <br>
<br>
Peter is also heavily involved with training through a variety of international courses and wider communication via his podcasts, The Microscopists and Flow Stars.<o:p></o:p></p>
