Prof. Saeed Akhtar runs the electron microscopy facility
We have expertise to carry out Ultrastructural and 3D tomography research on normal and pathological biological tissue. Our main focus on the ultrastructural organization and 3D electron tomography of collagen fibrils and proteoglycans of normal and pathological cornea such as keratoconus (see picture). We have published our findings in high impact peer-review articles. We also carry out research on the retina, optic nerve, intervertebral disc, knee cartilage and heart valve.
