Need someone to stand up in court and fight your corner?  Count us in.

Sarah Johnson

Sarah is our in-house specialist in fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry.  A graduate of Aston University in Birmingham, Sarah's MSc looked at the ability of fluorescent techniques to validate the oxidative status of the cell membrane using the fluorescent probe parinaric acid.

​

Favourite food: Ice cream at Southwold pier.

Reubin Cummins

Reubin graduated from King's College London with a 2:1 in Biological Sciences.  Reubin is a microscopist that specialises in image manipulation and quality using the very latest image stacking, timelapse, and digital enhancement techniques.  Reubin is also our in-house videographer and is second to none at time-lapse microscopy.

​

Favourite food:  Indian, but not too spicy.  Flavour is the thing.

Paul is the powerhouse behind DSS and has been working with microscopes for a very long time.  His interest in microscopy started way before entering university, and even in those times he was adapting trinocular optical microscopes to take auto-fluorescent, dark field, and polarising photo-micrographs.

Paul got a first class honours degree from Plymouth Polytechnic (as it it was back in 1988), and went on to do a PhD at UEA in Norwich using fluorescent microscopy techniques to examine the immunostained cytoskeleton of epithial cells that were induced into a metastatic state using Hepatocyte Growth Factor.

​

Favourite food:  I love making exotic breads, and cooking Persian style food.
