Discussion: Say hello

Reply:

Hi Everyone, this is a great initiative, pleased to meet you all.

I am Mark Scott, Microscopy Core Facility manager at the Translational Research Institute in Brisbane. Australia. Having worked at Newcastle University and Imperial College in the UK, I finally moved back to the sun in 2014, working in core facilities of WEHI in Melbourne and IMB at University of Queensland before moving to manager my own facility in 2019 at TRI.

We have been upgrading a number of our systems over the past few years and have the facility in a very competitive place to provide our researchers from all over Brisbane access to top end equipment. Looking forward to diving into discussions on how we all get the most out of our individual core facilities.
