About Me:
I’ve always been interested in physics, I’m really lucky that I get to do it every day. I really enjoy photography, I particularly like to photograph small insects and spiders which I find in the garden or in parks – people probably think I’m a bit odd holding up a leaf with a big camera and flash waiting for the spiders to turn just right.

Iain Tullis
About Me:
I make scientific instruments for cancer research.
I’ve worked on the mechanics, electronics and optics for multiphoton and fluorescence lifetime microscopes and on the reworking of a radiotherapy linac for cancer research.
I’m involved in research into a better way to deliver radiotherapy and I’m also involved in a study that uses a fluorescent marker, a bespoke imaging system and a robotic system for prostate surgery.
Some of our instruments end up in the operating theatre. Here I am with one of the surgeons
A view of our 6 MeV linac
Close up on our cell handling system. Cells are irradiated and then robotically moved onto our microscope
My research involves taking things apart — and then reusing the parts as well as designing new parts to make something that someday will help cure cancer.
