Hi, I’m Lucas Dent, a Research Scientist at the London Centre for Nanotechnology, University College London. The research I do focuses on combining cell biology and computational analysis to uncover insights from live and 3D imaging data. I use functional genetics to understand how cells and tissues are built, and I develop methods for analyzing and visualizing biological systems.
Recently this includes machine learning approaches to cell profiling, and protocols for high-throughput 3D imaging. My research focuses on understanding basic processes like the control of cell growth, movement and geometry. This knowledge is fundamental to human development, regeneration, disease, and creating therapies.
