	Dr Nicholas Hamilton Dr Hamilton is Science Leader on the Visible Cell® project. He is a group leader in the IMB whose research is focused on developing methodologies for feature extraction, automated classification, quantification, mathematical modelling, analysis, organisation, visualisation, comparison, and inference from microscopy imaging. His group collaborates closely with cell biology, bioinformatics and mathematical groups and utilises and develop technologies in areas such as machine learning, data clustering, image segmentation, statistics and modelling.
	Professor Mark Ragan Professor Ragan joined IMB after 28 years with the National Research Council Canada, where he co-founded and developed programs in bioactive compounds, molecular biology, genomics and bioinformatics, including the Canadian Bioinformatics Resource.
	Associate Professor Ben Hankamer Associate Professor Ben Hankamer moved to the IMB from Imperial College London to lead the single particle analysis and electron crystallography initiatives at the IMB. A powerful semi-automated SPA pipeline has been designed, built and employed to solve the structures of membrane protein complexes and soluble macromolecular assemblies. In parallel, new template-assisted electron crystallography technologies are in development for streamlined 2D crystal production.
	Dr Brad Marsh Dr Marsh is internationally recognised in the diabetes, membrane traffic and 3D EM research communities for his cutting-edge application of large volume EM tomography to visualise mammalian cell structure in 3D at high resolution. His striking images of subcellular architecture in the insulin-secreting pancreatic beta cell have been featured on the covers of high-impact journals.
	Mr Oliver Cairncross Oliver serves as the project manager for the systems development work performed by the ACB. He came to the IMB as a database administrator and application developer with extensive experience in the commercial sector.
	Dr Rohan Teasdale Dr Teasdale heads a multidisciplinary research group using both cellular and computational techniques to investigate how subcellular compartments are generated.
	Assistant Professor Niels Volkmann Niels Volkmann earned his Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of Hamburg, Germany in 1993, where he also trained as a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Research Unit for Ribosome Structure. He received additional postdoctoral training at Brandeis University at the Rosenstiel Basic Medical Science Research Center and The Keck Center for Cellular Visualization prior to joining The Burnham Institute in 1999. Dr. Volkmann was promoted to the faculty as Assistant Professor in 2001.
