Hamzeh’s summer project

It was a pleasure to host Hamzeh Kanou in the lab for a Generation Research Summer Studentship. Hamzeh is going into his third year of Physics Undergraduate at Sheffield. Hamzeh worked with Professor Buddhapriya Chakrabarti on computational modelling of cell shape transitions. And what better place to start than by looking at some cell shapes down the microscope? Hamzeh tried his hand at tissue culture and microscopy in the lab and turned out to be a natural! Check out his beautiful 3D reconstructions of dividing cells .
