Peter is President of the Royal Microscopical Society and the Director of the Bioscience Technology Facility at the University of York covering the broad technologies required for a multi-disciplined Department of Biology.He has also built up and heads the highly successful Imaging and Cytometry Labs which includes an array of confocal microscopes, flow cytometers, electron microscopes and novel instrumentation. Peter gained his PhD in the Cell Biophysics Laboratory at Essex and has been involved in many aspects of fluorescence imaging. Research is currently focused on both technology and method development of novel probes and imaging modalities 1-4 (with current funding of near £2m with 3 current programs). His lab provides research support to many academics and commercial organisations and he has ongoing collaborations and consultancy contracts with many leading microscopy and cytometry companies.Peter serves on an array of committees for e.g. BBSRC, Steering committee for ELMI. Peter is also heavily involved with microscopy and cytometry training through a variety of international courses.External Positions include2017-24 Multiple BBSRC/MRC/EPSRC/Wellcome Trust Grant awarding committees2023 - President Royal Microscopical Society2017 - Editorial Board for Methods and Protocols2017- Executive Committee Core Technologies for Life Sciences2017- iABRF committee member2015-2017 BBSRC Bioimaging panel2013-2016 Panel member for the BBSRC ENWW Strategy Panel2008-2017 RMS Honorary Secretary2004-2014 RMS Light Microscopy section (Hon Sec 2007-1010, Elected to Chair 2010-2013)2012 - RCUK Committee (NGOI)2007 - Flow Cytometry UK committee2005 - Steering Committee - European Light Microscopy Initiative2004 - 2010 RMS Flow Cytometry sectionKey Events Organised2007/2018 ELMI - York/Dublin2008 and 2017 Light Microscopy Facilities Meeting2010/15/17 MicroScience and Microscopy Congress2013 EMAG2012 European Microscopy Congress 20122012 Flow Cytometry UK
