Research in the life sciences is being revolutionised by advances in imaging, genomics, and gene editing, and provision of access to advanced technologies is key to enabling scientific progress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI hope that the EMBL Imaging Centre will play a significant role in shaping a new era in the life sciences, and that scientists from many different areas will benefit from it. EMBL has pioneered many of the imaging technologies that scientists use today, and the Imaging Centre will provide a unique opportunity to benefit from such technology development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Imaging Centre will offer the most advanced high-resolution electron and light microscopy technologies, including academically developed methods that are not yet commercially available, and will build on EMBL\u2019s decades-long history of world-class service provision for life science research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vf-grid | vf-grid__col-1\"><div><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IC_260421-02-m.jpg\" alt=\"Delivery truck at loading bay\" class=\"wp-image-39962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IC_260421-02-m.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IC_260421-02-m-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IC_260421-02-m-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">Unloading and unpacking new instruments into the EMBL Imaging Centre.

An independent external Project Evaluation Committee with broad representation from EMBL\u2019s member states will provide scientific evaluation and ranking of project proposals from users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Jan Ellenberg has been appointed as Head of the Imaging Centre, in addition to his role as Head of EMBL\u2019s Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Ellenberg says: \u201cEMBL is now approaching globally recognised life science experts to serve on the Advisory Panel and Evaluation Committee, and we expect to confirm the membership in the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Christoph M\u00fcller was named as Deputy Head, in addition to his role as Head of EMBL\u2019s Structural and Computational Biology Unit. EMBL Director of Scientific Services and Core Facilities Dr Rainer Pepperkok will lead the service provision aspects of the centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centre\u2019s two new team leaders, Simone Mattei and Timo Zimmermann, and their service staff are very much looking forward to welcoming and supporting users from EMBL\u2019s member states and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information on <a
