Peter Gordon

Peter is a senior microscopy specialist with a varied background in immunology, cardiovascular disease, renal disease and oncology. At the SWC he trains researchers in the microscopy approaches within the centre, helps researchers with their experimental approach and develops new approaches focussing on tissue clearing and whole organ labelling.

Before coming to the SWC, Peter received a PhD from the University of Glasgow where he focussed on re-programming immune cells to treat heart disease. His first post-doc position was at the University of Aberdeen, continuing the theme of immune cell re-programming but applying it to renal disease. He then moved to London, working as a post-doc in Tony Ng's lab on cancer where he found his calling for developing new imaging approaches focussing on tissue clearing and imaging whole organs. Imaging had always been a passion of Peter's throughout his PhD and research career and it's this passion and varied background that he uses now in the SWC and neuroscience.
