In this role I developed super-resolution microscopy methods to perform live-cell single-molecule imaging to study fundamental processes in bacteria. My key roles were:• Laboratory based practices: biochemical analysis, genetic manipulation, advanced microscopy.• Data collection, processing, statistical analysis and interpretation. • Developing analytical approaches to understand, describe and visualise highly complex large datasets from advanced microscopy.• Presenting at international conferences • Scientific writing of reports and publications in scientific journals• Peer reviewer of research articles• Supervision, training and teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate students• Engaging in journal clubs, Oxford biophysics symposium and the Oxford bacterial network
